JOIN OUR CHAPTERThere is no room for hate
EDPA and its member companies realize that our future depends on equality and diversity. As an association, we support calling out and eradicating systemic racism in this country and around the world. We commit to greater equity, empathy, and justice across our industry, an industry that promotes personal, human experiences, one that has no room for discrimination and hate. As Coretta Scott King said, “Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.”
