Our Commitment to Equity

As the capital city of Minnesota, Saint Paul is a community that believes in fostering inclusivity and equality, creating spaces where everyone's voice is heard and valued. We strive to uplift and serve our residents and City of Saint Paul employees with dignity and respect, and center humanity and autonomy in all that we do. 

We recognize the need to address systems and beliefs that perpetuate harm and inequity against marginalized peoples and are committed to dismantling racism, prejudice, bias, and discrimination in all forms. By engaging all our communities in the process of governing, we ensure our residents stand to benefit from the policies we build together. 

Our leaders are guided by an unapologetic equity agenda, which promotes the belief that true equity is building a city that works for all of us.
