We are deeply anguished by the senseless acts of discrimination and violence happening across our country, where Black Americans are being killed in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Minneapolis – Tony McDade, Ahmaud Marquez Arbery, Breonna Taylor, David McAtee, and George Floyd. Our hearts go out to all Black and Brown individuals, families and communities affected by these and other national tragedies.
It is all of our responsibility to find a way to end this cycle of racism and violence. We cannot, should not, and will not tolerate racism in any form. We must stand together to achieve justice and a stronger, safer future for all of us.
