Local First Arizona centers diversity, inclusion and equity in our work to develop an Arizona economy grounded in local ownership that meets the basic needs of all people, builds local wealth and social capital, functions in harmony with our ecosystem, and encourages healthy communities.It is our belief that such an economy cannot be fully realized if people are excluded from full and fair participation as a result of racism, poverty, discrimination, cultural ignorance, bias or other conditions of exclusion. From staff, board members, and community partners to programs and strategic initiatives, Local First Arizona works with diverse populations to build prosperity.
