Together in Solidarity
Dear B:CIVIC Community,
It was only a week ago that most of us first learned George Floyd’s name and saw the lethal brutality he experienced at the hands of police officers. And he was only the most recent needless death. Since then, we have run the emotional gamut – anger, confusion and sadness – as we watch events unfold across the nation and our own community in response to too many lives lost.
The responses we’ve seen – both violent and peaceful – have shocked some in our community while others have known that we have been heading in this direction for generations. What’s behind these pent-up responses are the systemic barriers, insults and innuendos that people of color face every day in our country and the lack of acknowledgment from those who benefit from those burdensome systems.
We can’t ignore these inequalities anymore. We will only succeed at creating change if we all come together to address disparity and that means there is a role for you and your organization. This work is going to be difficult, but we must do it to move forward.
