A half-selfie of a Black woman wearing a cap and glasses, in front of a red wall that has the following text: "We believe in a just and safe world where power and possibility are not limited by gender, race, class, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or age. We believe that equity and inclusion are the cornerstones of a true democracy in which the worth and dignity of every person are valued."
