Read MoreDear LT Community:
We face a defining moment. It is inescapable that our region and nation are suffering from the effects of systemic racism which perpetuates structural violence, poverty, and health disparities. Black and African American members of our community are under siege right now. We see you and we care about you. We stand together with you in anger, fear, sadness, and grief.
We are committed to changing the systems and structures that perpetuate racist inequities and are a part of a long history of injustice and oppression. While we don’t have all the answers, we are committed to working toward solutions that not only address the current incidents that have sparked the recent protests, but also address the root causes. It is our charge -- as leaders in this community and in partnership with all members of our community -- to find ways to foster sustainable change.
