Our Statement on Recent Racial Violence
While we may not be able to come together in the ways we have before to process and heal, please know that we are here, we are holding space for your grief, and we are demanding an end to white supremacy and the forces of racism that continue to devastate our communities. Our humanity as Black people must be recognized – and the senseless murder of our sisters and brothers must end. As a community of leaders who have long recognized the need for systems and practices that effectively respond to the needs of the Black community, we hope that you will join us in this call.
