One County, Many Faces highlights and addresses the ways community members are systematically excluded from full participation in our civic, social, and economic life. As a collection of groups representing different parts of Broome County we advocate for an inclusive county, free of racism and other forms of discrimination. Our goal is to build community, get to know one another, and share our stories and knowledges to ensure every person in Broome is respected and has access to the resources they need to thrive.
