DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION & SENSITIVITY
The U.S. All Star Federation is dedicated to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, sensitivity and connection among our members and within our communities. This commitment is at the core of our values, and we believe that the USASF is strongest when we embrace the full range of human experiences, regardless of appearance, background, ability or whom we love. We are committed to taking action to address, educate, and eliminate racial and social injustices within our sport, while creating and enforcing policies that combat racism and bias, and promote equality for all.

Testimonials
“In a sport where everyone's value is derived by what they do on the floor no matter what they look like, I was naive to think that this mindset spilled over to all areas of the spirit industry. Hearing stories of so many people who felt this was not the case compelled me to be a part of the change so that everyone would feel included and represented moving forward.” ~ Peter Lezin
