As a Society and Chapter that promotes inclusivity and diversity, while condemning institutionalized racism, white supremacy, and state-sanctioned violence, we stand in solidarity with those protesting police violence as well as the Black Lives Matter movement. We share in the pain that has been caused by the untimely and unnecessary deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, George Floyd, as well as the many others that have fallen victim to the systematic abuse inflicted on people of color. We believe that it is our responsibility to speak out against those that are motivated by hatred and bigotry, while supporting those who continuously combat racial injustice. We ask our members, community, and allies to join us in our promise to stand with and support Black Americans who have faced injustices at the hands of a broken system. As a part of this promise, we will continue to persevere in our efforts to support the Black community both inside and out of NYU, no matter how difficult the road is ahead.
