We serve as a resource for our members to share information about supporters’ issues - representing more than 135 members (supporters groups or associations) in the US and Canada between MLS, NWSL, USL, NPSL, WPSL, NISA, and CPL. - We are deeply committed to creating and providing a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming soccer community rooted in the following statutes and principles: • We do not tolerate discrimination of any individuals on any grounds including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, national origin, legal status, religion, socioeconomic status, education, language, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, mental ability, or physical capability. We believe our diversity is a point of strength w/in our organization and adds value to all of our work. • We reject violence, both verbal and physical. • We promote and advocate for the positive free expression of supporter culture, including values such as fair play and good governance throughout North America. • We commit to provide educational opportunities for our members & the greater soccer community as we seek to create, strengthen, and sustain inclusive environment. DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION STATEMENT ISC unites soccer supporter groups globally to promote a message of diversity, equity, and inclusion, whether on the pitch, in the stands, or within our greater communities. We are steadfast in our opposition of all forms of discrimination. Through our alliances, we cultivate a community of support in which individualism and passion are encouraged, expressed, and supported, regardless of differences. ISC strives to hold ourselves to these commitments not only in words, but through deeds and actions. We will lead by example to continue building a soccer community that reflects the identities of the communities we serve.
