Welcome to equity arcata’s first Welcoming Businesses Newsletter!

equity arcata’s teams aim to create a welcoming, safe and racially equitable community. Our members are working to eliminate racial disparities for all people of color in housing, health, education and employment. Welcoming Businesses is a huge part of this work!

We Want to Help Your Business!

Is your business reaching its full potential regarding the diverse segments of our community?

We want to help our local businesses succeed at engaging community members of color as employees and customers.

One of the goals of equity arcata's Welcoming Businesses initiative is to establish partnerships with local business owners to spread awareness about the benefits of racial equity training and policies in the workplace. We’re also developing long-term goals to increase the involvement of people of color in Arcata’s business community. 

With these goals in mind, we've put together a series of informative newsletters with tools you can utilize as guides for your business.

Our next newsletter will discuss how racial equity in the workplace can affect employee satisfaction and retention. We look forward to sharing more on this topic with you!
