Racial Justice
Women’s Foundation of Florida Statement of Solidarity and Condemnation of Police Brutality
The Women’s Foundation of Florida unequivocally stands with the Black community. Black Lives Matter. We stand in solidarity against the ongoing systemic, implicit and, too often, overt racism that plagues our country. We know there is a better way, and we are committed to working together for racial equity and justice.
Breonna Taylor.
George Floyd.
Tony McDade.
Ahmaud Arbery.
Sean Reed.
And too many others…
We need to say their names and acknowledge the violence, injustice, and discrimination directed at the Black community.
Racism is a public health crisis that requires us to rise up against hate and violence and also challenge ourselves to look within and acknowledge our own bias. Now is the time to truly listen to what we are being told by Black individuals and community organizations and take action.
The Women’s Foundation of Florida is committed to empowering women to be leaders and change the way the world works. To achieve this mission we must recommit ourselves to also being an anti-racist organization.
We are committed to listening, learning, and acting to challenge racism in all its forms. This won’t be easy and it will require radical changes to how the world works, and we as an organization and individuals show up and act.
