ACTR Diversity Statement
adopted by ACTR Board of Directors on November 13, 2021
ACTR welcomes individuals from all backgrounds and identities, including race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, family composition, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, ability, citizenship, and other identifiers.
ACTR is committed to the values of diversity, equity, access, and inclusion. As an organization that serves to educate and broaden the horizons of teachers, students, and the wider public, ACTR recognizes the importance of addressing social inequalities in the classroom and beyond. We therefore place diversity, equity, access, and inclusion at the center of our organization's mission. We will be intentional in our efforts to understand, respect, and appreciate the breadth of experiences and perspectives of our members and the communities in which they serve. We acknowledge the need for more diverse perspectives in our classrooms and we support colleagues in their efforts to present and foster an appreciation of the rich diversity of the Russophone world.

Statement from ACTR on Racism and Equity
The Board of Directors of the American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR) condemns the murder of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Mike Ramos, and so many others. We support the Black, Latinx, Native and Indigenous communities in their responses across the country, as well as those acting in solidarity through peaceful protest. As scholars and teachers of the languages and cultures of a region in which public discourse and dissent is often suppressed, it is of paramount importance that we not remain silent during this time of social discord. ACTR has a stated policy of commitment to promoting inclusivity and diversity in its membership and programs and, thus, decries the injustice of institutionalized racism in any form.
