GSRs NY Meeting – Inclusivity Statement 

The following Inclusivity Statement was approved by the General Service Board in July, 2022 and has been added to the 2022 Debtors Anonymous Manual of Service:

“Whatever your story, you are welcome in Debtors Anonymous. In D.A., we celebrate the rich, diverse experiences of people of all identities. We embrace members of any race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental ability, socio-economic status, religious, spiritual, or philosophical expression, or any other trait. Our various experiences benefit our recovery, so we encourage all members to value differences and actively participate in making D.A. an inclusive fellowship. Together, we create accessible and welcoming spaces for anyone with the desire to stop incurring debt, so that we may all recover one day at a time.”

Taking the fear out of becoming a Treasurer

We are fundraising to send Group Representatives to the World Service Conference in August.


Invite other members for this opportunity to enhance your recovery, learn skills to become a treasurer so you can bring it to your financial life, and ask questions with other fellows from around the world. Suggested Donation is $12 payable to gsrsnyc [at] gmail.com [via Zelle / PayPal / Venmo @GSRSNYC] and if you can donate more, we’d be delighted, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
