🌈 Pride Month is a celebration of identity, resilience, and community. It honors the LGBTQIA+ trailblazers—like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera—who stood up at Stonewall in 1969 and sparked a global movement. Their fight for justice, safety, and equality laid the groundwork for the freedoms many have today—and the ones we’re still working toward. Pride isn’t just about parades and rainbows. It’s about creating space for everyone to live authentically, be seen, and feel safe in their truth. It’s about lifting voices that have been marginalized and recognizing that true inclusion means action, not just celebration. This June, let’s celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community’s strength, diversity, and impact—and keep learning, listening, and showing up all year long. 🏳️‍🌈 Together, we rise. Together, we pride.

CATA Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Pledge

As a member of the CATA Leadership, I am an agent of change who believes that all CATA activities and leadership opportunities should be committed to drive the CATA vision of developing and implementing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion strategies and best practice.

I lead by example by celebrating others and all cultures. I promise to treat all people with dignity and respect; and I will not tolerate any form of negative interactions, either verbal or non-verbal. I will confront offensive jokes, remarks or mistreatment of any individual. I will create a safe, supportive and inclusive community for everyone. I promise to promote a safe and healthy workplace. I promise to honor my words through my actions.

There is much work to be done and we must all come together to advance conversations and provide solutions for systemic oppression, social injustice, and economic and healthcare disparities. Through our own individual and collective growth by broadening education, training, networking, and having uncomfortable conversations, the CATA will provide change.

This is my pledge.
