Circus Culture is committed to prioritizing and amplifying the fight for racial and social justice, and specifically for the Black community.

We acknowledge that we have always stated that we aim for “inclusive community”, without actively doing the work to counter systemic racism. This is not ok.

We commit to learning how to be anti-racist as an organization.

We acknowledge that this is a lifelong commitment, and that intersectionality must be paramount. Our efforts are currently focused on our 6 year long collaboration with Village at Ithaca through our Village Circus program, which provides circus education and opportunities to BIPOC youth who are a part of the Village at Ithaca community.
