Black Lives Matter

The suffering in our communities is the result of systemic and institutional racism toward Black Americans. To make good on the promise of what the United States can be, we need to do a better job of confronting discrimination, bigotry, and hatred; this effort directly relates to the Rotary missions of strengthening the economic, social, and cultural vitality of our communities and promoting international peace and understanding. It is our responsibility as both Rotarians and citizens of an oppressive society to take a stand against oppression and to educate ourselves and others about the structures that perpetuate racism so we can work to change them.
