OUR MISSION

To foster a movement for systemic change to advance equity and inclusion in the town of Winchester and beyond.


We are thrilled to present our 2020-2021 Annual Report. We invite you to take a look to learn about how we continue to grow, not only within Winchester—with student internships and efforts to expand affordable housing—but beyond it as well. You can also learn about the Network’s 30 year history by checking out this short video.

We are incredibly proud of how much we are able to accomplish—both through our programs and campaigns—with a budget under $200,000 and a staff of three, two of whom work part-time. 

None of our accomplishments would be possible without the generous support of our donors. If you have given a gift during our current appeal, thank you so much! If you have not, but would like to support the Network, you can do so here.

HUMAN RIGHTS STATEMENT
Winchester is a community that is grounded in respect for every individual, and therefore protects all residents, employees, business owners, students and visitors in the enjoyment and exercise of human and civil rights.

Since its inception, the Network has been profoundly inspired by the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and sought to thoughtfully engage the community in honoring all that he stood for. For the past three years, this has taken the form of the MLK Day of Service, the last two of which have been held virtually.
