Lori Fogarty, Director and CEO, introduces the Museum's ongoing journey to becoming a more equitable, anti-racist institution -- the history of this work, current efforts underway, and OMCA's vision for a more equitable future. Additional pages trace specific initiatives that support OMCA's commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access, including a statement from the Museum's Board of Trustees and links to relevant articles, presentations, and resources related to OMCA's ongoing efforts in equity and anti-racism. We invite our community to stay in touch as this journey continues.
A Message From OMCA
OMCA stands against all forms of hate and racism and joins in solidarity with all BIPOC communities impacted by racial injustice and violence. Our country and our local community have seen a tragic increase in violence based on racism, xenophobia, and Sinophobia. At OMCA we affirm that our cultural and civic spaces are for fostering safety and belonging within our museum, garden, and gathering place.
We do not tolerate racist behavior in any forms. If you witness or experience any harmful behaviors while on our campus, please call Security at (510) 318-8560 for assistance. Let us hold each other accountable and speak up when we see discrimination.
