The Board of Directors at Cape CARES stands in solidarity with the
Movement for Black Lives.
We support those who are speaking out against the longstanding pattern of systemic racism in the United States resulting in violent deaths of Black People and serious health disparities in Black Communities.
We understand that systemic racism also affects the health of people and communities around the world including Black and Non-Black Honduran people in the communities that we accompany in Honduras.
We commit
to act intentionally to disband racist structures and practices,
to align with global best practices by following the ideals of collaborative community involvement in Honduras,
to actively work to diversify our board and our volunteers, and
to continue antiracist education and practices within our organization

families came for well visits and were in absence of
major health problems, evidence of a primary pediatric care model.”
