We take seriously our role as ambassadors and have made substantial progress toward mapping KCRW’s current diversity landscape and identifying strengths and areas for growth. In keeping with our commitment to promoting trust and transparency, we are sharing the first annual KCRW Pledge for Equity Community Report. </p> <p dir="ltr">Significant findings regarding the diversity of KCRW’s staff and leadership, as well as the first concrete steps toward greater equity, are included in this document. Our task force was specifically responsible for KCRW's Community Agreements, based on the three principles of keeping perspective, actively engaging, and building relationships. We feel strongly that the agreements—and all of the activities outlined in the report—demonstrate the deep investment we have in listening, learning, and collectively enacting change at KCRW. </p> <p dir="ltr">Sincerely,<br/>The DEI Taskforce<br/><br/></p> </div> </div> </div> <h2>KCRW Pledge for Equity</h2> <p>KCRW cares about diversity of thought, of voices both inside KCRW and what we put out as a media organization.</p> <p>These are the actions we are taking to continue building a better, more equitable organization and make an impact on public radio as a whole.<br/><br/>KCRW Pledge for Equity Annual Report:<br/><a data-linktype="internal" target="_blank" text="June 2022" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221017024725/https://www.kcrw.com/about/pledge-for-equity-community-report-2022#_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-val="455bc3d6c57844dfac95599cbe1503fc">June 2022</a><br/><a text="January 2022" data-val="7022c27645c0468882733085638c32c6" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221017024725/https://www.kcrw.com/about/2021-diversity-equity-inclusion" data-linktype="internal">January 2022</a><a text="KCRW Pledge for Equity Quarterly Report" data-val="ebaf6c78d5cf4dd48daa39718836dd1d" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221017024725/https://www.kcrw.com/about/kcrw-dei-annual-report.pdf" data-linktype="internal"><br/></a><a text="August 2021 Report " data-val="e2c4da2dda134bbfbc183f43d0c061ef" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221017024725/https://www.kcrw.com/about/kcrwreportfinal.pdf" data-linktype="internal">August 2021</a></p> <p>KCRW Pledge for Equity Quarterly Report:<a data-linktype="internal" target="_blank" text="February 2021 Report" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221017024725/https://www.kcrw.com/about/kcrw-pledge-for-equity-quarterly-report#_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-val="999efd678ca741c896d884ca1ff5f936"><br/>February 2021</a></p> <p></p> </div></div> <section id="portlets-bottom" role="complementary" class="row-portlet-manager"> </section> <script> $(window).on('load', function () { if (!$.KCRW.player.isPlaying()) { $.KCRW.close_player(); } }); </script> </div> <script class="base-datalayer" type="text/javascript"> var _KCRW_UID = '451d0aa8a8514b3090c06737c40b025d'; var _KCRW_portal_type = 'Document'; var _KCRW_context_url = 'https://web.archive.org/web/20221017024725/https://www.kcrw.com/about/diversity-equity-inclusion'; if (window.dataLayer && dataLayer.push) { var _KCRW_prior_page_data; var _KCRW_base_page_data = { "kcrw_uid": _KCRW_UID, "kcrw_portal_type": _KCRW_portal_type, "categories": [], "media_type": null, "show": null }; dataLayer.push(_KCRW_base_page_data); } </script></div> <footer id="footer" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/WPFooter" itemid="#footer"> <div class="top-level"> <div itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/BroadcastService" itemid="/#KCRW-FM"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221017024725/https://www.kcrw.com/" id="footer_logo" itemprop="url" title="KCRW"><span itemprop="broadcastDisplayName">KCRW</span></a> <span class="SchemaMeta" itemprop="name">KCRW-FM</span> <span class="SchemaMeta" itemprop="alternateName">NPR</span> <span class="SchemaMeta" itemprop="logo" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemid="/#kcrw-logo"> <img itemprop="contentUrl url" src="/web/20221017024725im_/https://www.kcrw.com/++theme++kcrw.theme/images/KCRW_Logo_White.png" alt="KCRW Logo"/> </span> <div class="SchemaMeta" itemprop="broadcastFrequency">89.9 FM</div> <div class="SchemaMeta" itemprop="broadcastFrequency" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/BroadcastFrequencySpecification"> <meta itemprop="broadcastFrequencyValue" content="89.9"/> <meta itemprop="broadcastSignalModulation" content="FM"/> <meta itemprop="description" content="KCRW is a National Public Radio member station broadcasting from Santa Monica, CA.
