The protests that have unfolded across our country over the last week and the senseless deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor shine a piercing light on issues of racism, police brutality and inequitable justice that continue to divide our country. As an organization, we condemn those things. But words aren’t enough. The call to action is loud and clear and our organization is committed with a high sense of urgency to helping facilitate not only healing, but change.
Coach Casey said in his statement over the weekend: “Now is the time for real change.” In that spirit, we will use our platform, our creativity and our persistence to drive action in hopes of making this moment a turning point.
