John–
The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, David McAtee,
and the countless other murders of Black people in the United States that
don't make headlines are beyond heartbreaking.
For generations, Black and brown communities have been dying at the hands
of all forms of racism and white supremacy, and have also been the
disproportionate victims of gun violence – including by the police. The
racist and senseless murders we've seen across the country are horrific
and inexcusable, as are the President's reckless, racist, and incendiary
calls for additional violence.
Our mission to end gun violence is linked to a crisis that is centuries
older – systemic racism. Black lives matter, and we must do everything in
our power to dismantle anti-Black racism and white supremacy. We are
learning from and listening to Black and brown led organizations across
the country. We are supporting organizations – particularly those led by
Black people and other people of color – committed to ending gun violence
and the impact of racial injustice.
[ [link removed] ]In solidarity with the organizations leading the fight against racism
and white supremacy, we ask, if you are able, to support groups that are
working locally at the intersection of racial justice and gun violence
prevention. Our volunteers across the country are raising money to support
many of these groups in their communities, and Everytown will match all
donations made to these organizations dollar for dollar.
