  • "We've worked with CORE on many projects over the past few years because we know they are the real deal. They authentically engage the community with respect, they are ridiculously organized, timely, and data nerds. Most importantly, they use their moral compass to guide what and when and how they engage. We work on root-causes of injustice, and so we need folks like CORE, who understand how culture, systems, and individuals are tied together and require a broad lens of understanding before jumping in to 'solve' problems."
