What does supporting the WakeUpVetMed Initiative mean?

Formal endorsement of the WakeUpVetMed initiative indicates that your organization, business, association, community or academic institution supports the framework listed in the actionables document as a means for addressing systemic racism in veterinary medicine. While the initial call to action was addressed specifically to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the WakeUpVetMed endorsement is a broad call to action for the entire worldwide veterinary community to work collaboratively in creating transformational and lasting change in the lens of diversity, equity and inclusion."
