ENEWSLETTER
June 2020

Dear John,

Before proceeding with our June Enewsletter, we wanted to re-share our statement in support of Black communities. While we acknowledge that words will not be enough on their own, we stand firmly and use our voices to demand accountability from law enforcement, to condemn racism, and to dismantle oppressive systems.

Black Lives Matter.

Sincerely,
SACNAS Staff
