The recent incidents of violence, death, racial discrimination and social injustice we’ve witnessed in our communities remind us we have a long way to go in achieving equality for all.

We stand with our black neighbors and friends and those who work for equality and truth. All around us are people working tirelessly to illuminate and eradicate injustice. We see you, we hear you. Now more than ever we need to listen and support one another. As individuals and organizations, we need to examine our roles in creating inclusivity, equality and change.

We can do more. We recognize the true leaders in our communities, the true change makers, not those who capitalize on chaos to hurt the community and local businesses. We encourage community and unity in the fight to end injustice and brutality.

May we all come together for change and healing, a rising tide of strength against injustice.
