Today we mourn.

Today we reflect on the lives of George Floyd, Finan Berhe, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Oscar Grant, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Samule Dubose, Sandra Bland, Walter Scott, Terrence Crutcher, LaQuan McDonald, Botham Jean, and countless others we should not have to name; countless others whose lives have been stolen senselessly from this world, from their families, from our family.

Tomorrow we will act.

As a Care Coalition we must continuously examine the role we may play in perpetuating inequality, scrutinizing the constructs of our own curriculum and networks in order to bring an end to the oppression and the social injustices plaguing our Nation.

We need your help.

We have already begun to ensure our Curriculum, Training Material, and Intake Process reflects our commitment to anti-racism and injustice. We accept the call of action bestowed upon us and have developed strategies and action steps to pave the way for a better tomorrow. We thank you for what you have already done in this regard and encourage you to continue to walk with us no matter, which shade, creed, or religion, to promote unity throughout the world.

We invite you to visit our Anti-Racism Resources, which will be updated regularly in the coming weeks, and also seek out others to add.

For the betterment of ourselves, our community, and our famILY we look forward to holding space for critical conversations, designating time for effective action, and continuing in this extraordinary work.

In love, solidarity, and respect
