Our last update was to announce the postponement of our next event, due to the pandemic crisis. We’ve hunkered down and have been dormant, and like many of you, are just trying to adjust to this new and uncertain normal. But there is a new crisis, and we can’t stay quiet for this one.
Correction. This is not a new crisis. This has been an ongoing threat that stems back hundreds of years since the birthing of our nation. It is an insidious poison that has long infected our society and institutions.
It has been just been over 2 weeks since George Floyd’s death. Systemic prejudices and practices are so insidious that tragedies and injustices like his have become commonplace. We are a small organization, but we know little steps and empathic actions are still meaningful. We promise to always lead our events and live our lives upholding our belief that society needs to value the lives and humanity of minorities as much as it values the lives and humanity of white people. Black lives matter. BIPOC lives matter.
