Join Greater Diversity News for a unique opportunity to help make a difference.

Our name speaks to the change we desire to make. For GDN, “diversity” requires that we work together in society through disagreements and differences to promote inclusion where appropriate, to provide access as needed, and to achieve parity where disparities have persisted.

Knowing how important diversity is, GDN cannot stand by quietly as diversity is assaulted. An attack on diversity divides humanity and is disrespectful of differences. “Greater Diversity” is our focus and a key element of our vision for unity (Self-Repair: It’s a family affair!) to work together to develop institutions that shape and repair our culture.

In order to be a high-quality reliable meeting place for news and information that all people in the United States and around the globe can trust, Greater Diversity News needs your support in terms of your time, talent, and treasure.

The Living Word
Jeremiah 29:10-13
 (
MSG)
  

10-13: This is GOD’s Word on the subject: “As soon as Babylon’s seventy years are up and not a day before, I’ll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
