The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and countless other members of the Black community have further exposed the racist beliefs, behaviors, and systems that Black people experience in America.

We denounce racism against all groups and will continue to provide support and resources for those who are impacted by harassment or discrimination.
