already troubled times, the recent tragic loss of the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and continued violence on black people in this country is both heartbreaking and enraging. We write to affirm Black Lives Matter, and to condemn the historical and continuing violence of police, of states and of the nation on Black communities and individuals. We write to express the disgust at the politicization of these tragic injustices. We write to affirm the indigenous and Black solidarity that has existed through centuries of struggle in both communities. We write this statement as we know that it is our responsibility to speak out and denounce the violence, systematic oppression and structural racism that permeates this country, which disproportionately impacts Black communities. We stand behind and in support of Black and afro-indigenous people everywhere.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000">This country was built on bodies - of slavery and genocide. This system is not broken, it is a system designed to maintain racial order - to uphold white supremacy. We know this deeply. It is time for a new system, it is time for change.聽</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000">We support and celebrate the courage of those who are standing up, using their voices to amplify messages of righteous outrage, justice, love and change. We urge our communities, especially our non-Black communities, our families, our friends and our colleagues to challenge the anti-Black sentiments that we encounter. Because Black lives matter. We all have a role to play, we must work together, using our voices and actions to move our country to be something better. There are many ways that we can support Black communities; through protest; through donating to Black organizations and advocacy and social justice groups; through educating yourself; or through amplifying the voices of Black communities, organizations or individuals. But we must act. And we must come together to affirm that </span><strong><span style="color:#000000">Black Lives Matter</span></strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  </div>  </div>  <footer id="footer" class="footer"> <div id="footer-main"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-7"> <a href="https://www.berkeley.edu" rel="external" id="footer-logo"> <img src="/profiles/openberkeley/themes/openberkeley_theme_brand/assets/images/logo-berkeley-gold.svg" alt="UC Berkeley" /> </a> </div> <div class="col-md-5"> <div id="footer-main-first" class="clearfix"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div class="block block-menu block--"> <div class="block__content"> <ul class="nav nav-pills"><li class="first leaf menu-link-home"><a href="/home">Home</a></li> <li class="last leaf menu-link-credits"><a href="/credits">Credits</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer-main-last" class="clearfix"> <div class="region region-footer-third"> <div class="block block-block block--links"> <div class="block__content"> <p><a href="http://diversity.berkeley.edu" rel="noreferrer">Division of Equity & Inclusion</a><br><a href="http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/governance/policies/4400.html" rel="noreferrer">University of California Statement on Diversity</a><br><a href="https://ophd.berkeley.edu/policies-and-procedures/nondiscrimination-policy-statement" rel="noreferrer">University of California Nondiscrimination Policy Statement</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer-bottom"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6"> <ul class="openberkeley-list-unbullet"> <li id="openberkeley"><small><a href="https://open.berkeley.edu">Powered by Open Berkeley</a></small></li> <li id="accessibility-info"><small><a href="https://dap.berkeley.edu/get-help/report-web-accessibility-issue">Accessibility<span class="element-invisible"> Statement</span></a></small></li> <li id="nondiscrimination"><small><a href="https://ophd.berkeley.edu/policies-and-procedures/nondiscrimination-policy-statement">Nondiscrimination<span class="element-invisible"> Policy Statement</span></a></small></li> <li id="openberkeley-privacy-statement"><small><a href="https://open.berkeley.edu/privacy-statement">Privacy<span class="element-invisible"> Statement</span></a></small></li> <li class="copyright"><small>Copyright 漏 2024 UC Regents; all rights reserved </small></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <p><small class="back-to-top"><a href="#skip-link">Back to Top</a></small></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cejce.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/js/js_i91eXA1hlQ19ij0gQj-5Pyt3dDwj7KAen7yCjk7GTzY.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cejce.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/js/js_lt1kI2u-wMEf8J8KYX6ak2cSk8aYuY7vOgFkCdX5-B0.js"></script> </body> </html>
