The OCO is actively participating in the Washington State Office of Equity’s Pro-Equity Anti-Racism Framework, and committed to partnering with people and communities impacted by our programs with the goal of listening, planning, and beginning to bridge gaps and reduce disparities. The OCO’s PEAR Team includes all OCO staff as well as Tianna Cain, who is a member of the community and a former OCO employee. Ms. Cain is a friend and family member to several people both previously and currently incarcerated in the Washington Department of Corrections. The OCO hopes to partner with empathy-centered community members to embed the PEAR Framework in all agency decision making and actions. All are welcome.
