Racism is real.
Not just in the systems and structures that have formed our communities, but in our everyday lives.
We stand with George Floyd. We stand with Breonna Taylor. We stand with Ahmaud Arbery. We stand with Sean Reed. We stand with Tony McDade. We stand with every BIPOC who has lost their life as a result of racism and bigotry.
We stand with everyone across this country who is standing up to say 'enough is enough.'
We stand with our staff of color. We stand with our youth of color. We stand against racism in our organization, in our community, and in our country.
Today, we collectively pledge to do more.
