Black Lives Matter & Anti-Racism

Dear Friends, Families, and the FASD community,

The heinous murder of George Floyd by then Minneapolis police officers Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao struck us, and the country, to our collective core. It has provided yet another example of the institutional biases that work against the civil liberties of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and all the voices silenced by police brutality serve as a call to action. We are reminded of the ideals that our country strives towards, and that to stand with all voices, is to stand on the side of justice and respect for humanity.
