In solidarity: George Floyd180 Degrees is deeply saddened and horrified by the murder of George Floyd. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who mourn his loss. We stand with the community against yet another instance of violence to the black community. We stand up against this and all racial injustices.
Our clients – in-shelter youth, men exiting prison, women experiencing domestic violence – encounter systemic racism daily. As people of color, they are disproportionately impacted by homelessness, poverty, health disparities, and the current COVID-19 pandemic. It is our duty to take responsibility for the role we play in our client’s lives and this community.Our staff and board remain committed to working for equity, equality, and justice for all. This work is ongoing and never-ending. We stand with this community in dismantling systemic and institutional racism. Read words from CEO Dan Pfarr on "Compassion and Grief." |
