We at Dixon Place condemn violence perpetrated on all oppressed groups and individuals, from the unconscionable murder of Black, Asian, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ People by police to the systemic institutional racism that perpetuates inequity and injustice.

We recognize the centuries long destructive history of white supremacy in this country, and we acknowledge how silence and passivity enable the preservation of this power structure.

Dixon Place is identified as an anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic organization and inclusivity is our mandate. Since its inception, Dixon Place has been dedicated to creating an equitable home for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women artists.

We are committed to being an effective participant in the collective fight for justice. We must challenge and dismantle any aspect of our work that inhibits the advancement of racial and gender equity.

Dixon Place is sincerely and faithfully advancing transformation by engaging new leadership, developing new programs, and cultivating deeper, more meaningful relationships with artists and audiences from myriad NYC communities.

We stand in solidarity with activists, organizers, and communities working to create change. Systemic racism, white supremacy, gender inequality, and homophobia must be impeded and prevented at every level! It is imperative and urgent for all people to understand that unmitigated change has to happen and that everyone has a responsibility to participate.

We entreat all white humans, men, and heterosexuals to take responsibility, reflect on your own complicity, listen, learn, join in, and speak up. Your voice matters and you CAN be part of this revolution!
