We must all continue to hold each other accountable in dismantling and ending white supremacy so that we can all dream, build, and flourish in the loving, just systems we deserve. We call upon our white and non-Black community members to show up, educate themselves and each other, and listen and support Black people. Anti-racist work and ending anti-Blackness is our responsibility.
