Our
Faith-Based community members play a vital role in all aspects within our
community for: equity, inclusion, addressing domestic and gun
violence, 21st Century Slavery and sexual exploitation, recovery\homelessness,
water & food insecurity, mental & physical health well-being,
disasters, emergency, climate-risk management, sustainability, and other issues
in our communities.
The
2019-and long-term on going recovery from the COVID-19 global pandemic brought
communities together to address these issues.
This
momentum cannot stop. We cannot return to business as usual at a time
before affected our communities.
BEMA
International
supports the Samual DeWitt Proctor Conference Inc organization, our
faith-based communities, organizations addressing the issues of vulnerable
women, girls (Upward African Woman), and other member and affiliated
organizations to address community issues locally, regionally, and
national.
“We are
One”.
We ask
that our members get involved locally. Continue with the trust,
credibility, and integrity that came to light during the global pandemic to
address the issues in your community. Get involved in the policies,
decision-making, and other community issues.
Our
next generation leaders, those in elementary, middle, and high school are
watching and learning from our actions to be the leaders that they are destined
to be.
Get
involved.

Statement on Discrimination, Intimidation, and
Harassment
Since our inception, the Samuel DeWitt
Proctor Conference (SDPC), Inc. has sought to nurture, sustain, and
mobilize the African American faith community – in collaboration
with civic, corporate, and philanthropic leaders – to address
critical needs of human rights and social justice within local,
national, and global communities. As a trusted interdenominational
justice organization, it is our priority to be the place and space
for ALL- radically inclusive and anchored in love. To that
end, SDPC is an organization that has no tolerance for
discrimination, abuse, homophobia, all forms of gender-based
violence, sexual impropriety, intimidation, or harassment
based upon age, citizenship status, diverse-abilities, ethnicity,
gender, national origin, race, and sexual orientation. The
SDPC adheres to these principles and expectations to respect
the rights of others to ensure a safe nonviolent environment of its
work and event spaces.
