UWBCKR Statement on George Floyd

UWBCKR envisions a vibrant community where all people realize their full potential. Violence, fear, and racism are in direct conflict with that vision and our values. We are therefore compelled to acknowledge and condemn the unjust killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers along with the recent killings of Ahmaud Arbrey, Breonna Taylor and countless others, including those whose names we may never know. We acknowledge as well the ongoing incidents and trauma our Black community members experience every day.

Please join us in our commitment to anti-racism.
