Dear Friend, We know that working for social change, transforming systems, and repairing the world is hard work. Sometimes it is exhilarating, as when we make real progress; at other times heartbreaking, when it seems so much is failing. This is precisely when we need to draw strength from each other, learn from diverse communities, and put our most honest selves forward to create a society that values all people equally. As police brutality and the COVID-19 pandemic take the greatest toll on communities of color, Green America stands in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, Color of Change, Campaign Zero, and all who are working to end racism. I invite you to read Green America’s statement on Justice for George Floyd & Black Communities. I welcome your feedback as well; simply reply to this email. Together we can, and must, end racism. For all people & the planet, | |
