A note from our team:
During these unprecedented times where Covid-19 has taken place along with police brutality all over the country we stand in solidarity with marginalized individuals. We support the Black Lives Matter movement as most of our community outreach is done in communities of color as well as some of our staff members being a part of that community. Our organization works hard to check our own internalized racism and use our privileges to stand up and provide support for underserved groups. The murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and so many others was a direct result of institutionalized white supremacy and an inhumane act of hatred. We do not in any way condone or support bigotry and racism and we will continue to ensure the voices of the community are heard. ⠀
