Over the past several weeks, the grief, righteous rage, and cries for justice for George Floyd, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and all of the Black people who have been killed by racist police brutality have moved tens of thousands of people to protest across the country.
These powerful protests highlight the outrage over the enduring and deep-rooted problem of racist policing and structural racism in the United States.
But for Black and Brown people, none of this is new. And Wyoming is not immune to the problem.
The ACLU of Wyoming strives to create a world where “we the people” truly means all us — this means dismantling systemic racism and working to repair centuries of harm inflicted on communities of color.
We are eager to hear your views and to better understand what you might need as a partner in dismantling structural racism in our state.
Join us at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 11 on Zoom to Speak your Piece. We want to hear your experience with race as it relates to criminal justice, economic justice, inequality in education, affirmative action; and Native American rights.
There’s no agenda for this virtual community forum – just an opportunity for to share your experiences, thoughts, ideas and opinions in two or three minutes.
Real change starts with honest conversation. Real change starts with you.
