Northfield Township is committed to treating all people – regardless of race, national origin, sexual identity, gender identity or expression, disability, age or religion – fairly and equitably. In our roles, we see that opportunity, however, is not always afforded equally and that some among us occasionally need a helping hand. We feel strongly, and act accordingly, that all are created equal. The Board of Trustees of Northfield Township feels it is important to share our position on concerns related to race, inequality, oppression, and opportunity for all.
