Solidarity With The Black Community

We at Gum Moon want to express our solidarity with the Black community.

The murder of George Floyd and the resulting protests and additional information that has come to light about the terrible treatment of Black individuals, at the hands of the police and others, has helped us better understand the severity of what our Black community is going through, as well as the urgency needed to make sweeping legal and cultural changes to value and respect Black lives. 

To the ever-growing number of Black lives taken because of racism, we mourn you. 

To all those who are so bravely working for justice for the Black community, we thank you.

As a community organization that touches the lives of thousands of people each year, we commit to including an anti-racist and pro Black Lives Matter dialogue with our participants, utilizing the Storytelling Project Curriculum - Racial Equity Tools. 

We will also support the Black Lives Movement through our social media channels, and we are committed to doing more every day to stand up for and speak out for our Black brothers and sisters. 

In solidarity,

The Board and Staff of Gum Moon
