On Monday, July 20, leading musicians, including the Lumineers and Nathanial Ratefliff, played a concert in protest of the City's recent resolution to block full implementation of SB 217, Colorado's new antiracist police reform law. Learn more about the issue and take additional action here.
Black Lives Matter
Colorado Peacemakers mourns the death of George Floyd and are outraged at the longstanding police brutality and systemic racism resulting in his murder. We stand in solidarity with the protesters pleading for justice for Mr. Floyd and the numerous other Black Americans whose lives have been cut short, including Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Eric Garner, and countless others. We want to state unequivocally that Black Lives Matter and commit to actions that we are taking to combat racism and further racial justice.
For too long, government policies and racism at the system and individual level have devalued and oppressed Black Americans from the times of slavery through Jim Crow to this very day, including insidious discriminatory processes such as redlining, voter suppression, police brutality and profiling, and mass incarceration.
There is much work to do. We commit to learning from – and amplifying – the voices of Black leaders as we put these strategies into place and practice anti-racism throughout our work. We welcome your feedback and partnership in this process.
One of our colleagues prepared this list of anti-racism resources, some of which speak to the dharma and others that are broader in nature. If you are interested in exploring some of these materials with fellow Peacemakers, please contact us. Thank you!
