NETA is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion, and to positively impact communities disproportionately affected by the war on drugs through high rates of arrest and incarceration. We believe that the people in our internal and external communities are the most valuable assets we have.

NETA stands united in the fight for social justice and racial equality. We continue to believe that we are in this together as one human race today and every day. NETA stands against injustice and racism.

This program creates a fund to be used to provide financial support of up to $25,000 annually for the purposes of acquiring compliant and reliable physical security plans and equipment to certified Economic Empowerment and Social Equity Program Participants.
