Speaking out against racism
“Speaking out against racism
The events resulting in the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis are a shocking reminder of the long history of mistreatment of African Americans, often at the hands of police, in the United States. The continuing pattern of unlawful deaths of black men and women in police custody plague our country and reveal how hollow our claims to justice and equality remain for so many.
Widespread evidence of abusive comments and actions toward Asians generated by the Covid-19 crisis also makes clear that a society where people are judged by the content of their character, rather than the color of their skin continues to remain a dream rather than a reality. It is especially important to recognize the injury and injustice suffered by people of color during these times and to do what we can to make our country more equitable, safe and fair.
All of us need to stand up and speak out to end racism. SHARE! is committed to being part of the solution.” – SHARE!
