Our nation is hurting. We are hurting.
As we mourn the lives lost to police brutality and the injustices people of color have historically faced and continue to experience, we encourage you to uplift anti-racist organizations and check-in with your colleagues, friends, and peers of color.
Your support can help save black lives, empathize with the struggles faced in communities of color, and reinforce the importance of justice, equity and inclusion. Evoking conversations about ways to be an ally are important, and taking actionable steps towards fixing the problem is much more significant.
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” -Dr. Martin Luther King
