The Vision:
We came together to make the world a more unified place. Every
day, every hour, even every second, there is some sort of discrimination taking
place. Whether it be because of their race, their religion, their sexual
orientation, or even the way they dress. This can be seen in our very own
community, most recently the Phillipsburg Wrestler’s Dilemma. The basis of
discrimination and prejudice is ignorance. In today’s society, this problem has
significantly escalated. Worst of all, many people have given up hope of the
situation ever getting better and have even resorted to extreme means to
express their anger and hopelessness. We want to reach people from all walks of
life and all age groups to let them know that we are all the same.
The Mission:
“Our mission is to decrease the amount of discrimination by
educating and showing our community, and eventually the world, through hands on
activities that differences are a fundamental and beautiful part of society.”
Our Objectives:
In order to accomplish our mission, EIBT has the following
objectives which, taken together, will help us reach our goal:
- That
every person that comes to our event will have a new favorite ethnic food.
- By
the year 2015, the amount of hate crimes in Phillipsburg will decrease by
10%.
Our Strategies:
We will pursue the following strategies to reach the objectives:
- Organizing
Diverse Experiences
- Viewing
ethnic art forms, trying ethnic food, learning about other religions...etc.
to show the beauty of diversity and how it makes us who we are.
- Support
Groups
- For
people to share their opinions towards discrimination and discuss acts of
discrimination taken upon them in a “judge-free” environment.
