Statement from HCDI and HSC

“We condemn all acts of racial injustice and discrimination plaguing the Black and Brown community here in Charlottesville, the state of Virginia, and nationally. We condemn the unjust acts of violence against, and murder of Black Americans—George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, James Scurlock and countless others—by police and racists. We oppose all facets of systemic and institutional racism that make it harder for the Black community to achieve justice and the right to live freely. We pledge to support our Black and Brown trainees through this nightmare. We pledge to continue doing everything within our power to advocate for your right to live and breathe. Together as a collective, we have the power to end racism within our own spaces. It is then, and only then, will we be able to end the crisis in this country.”
