In Solidarity 和 Strength: A Letter to the DU Community from 社区+价值观

亲爱的DU社区:

我们累坏了. 我们很生气. Our hearts ache 和 mourn for those in our community who are hurting right now.

在过去的几周里, we have witnessed the continued 暴力 against Black people with the murders of George Floyd, Breonna泰勒, 托尼·麦克达德, 和阿莫德·阿贝里, 和 we refuse to st和 by in silence or passivity 和 let this systemic 暴力 和 crimes against Black people 和 their lives continue to happen. 致我们当中的黑人社区成员, we affirm our insistence that all of us must st和 together in compassion for the pain 和 hurt that festers, 和 in the necessary fight to reverse this deeply ingrained pattern of 暴力 against Black people. 黑人的生命很重要. 我们理解,黑色, 土著, 和 People of Color communities at DU continue to bear the sadness, 愤怒, 和 frustration in the face of the countless racial injustices that take place in our country. We want to emphasize that as this continues to happen, we all know that the hurt is particularly intense for the direct victims of the 暴力 和 dehumanization. Yet every one of us must commit to compassion 和 deep love for one another. We all must work together to right this injustice. 我们谁也不能袖手旁观.

社区+价值观 exists to support our community 和 to boldly 和 unequivocally assert our values by openly stating what we st和 for 和 why – 和 what we st和 against -- with transparency 和 honesty. 我们重申, 用最严厉的措辞, our continued stance against institutional racism, 暴力, 偏见, 讨厌, 和不公正. We will not st和 silently or passively in the face of the continued harm inflicted against Black, 土著, 和 People of Color in our DU community 和 beyond. On this commitment, we are unified 和 unwavering. We know that DU is not a perfect institution 和 people in the DU community have been hurt, even by those within our DU community itself; we recognize that t在这里 is much more that we can do, 通过我们的工作, 我们承诺采取行动. We underst和 that this work will not be easy 和 will take long-term dedication to effectively address, but we know that t在这里 are changes that absolutely must be made to ensure that all can feel safe with a sense of belonging at DU 和 in our larger 和 interconnected world.

通过我们持续的活动, 编程, 和计划, we will amplify the diverse experiences 和 stories of Black, 土著, 以及我们社区的有色人种, 和 we will actively pursue changes at our institution that will ensure our policies, 实践, 和 values serve all of our community members.

C+V坚信要采取行动, 包括在下面, you’ll find a list of resources 和 some of the work 和 actions that C+V 和 other DU community members 和 departments are carrying out that directly addresses racial justice 和 resources for our DU community. We are open to your feedback, 和 we want you to be part of this work. Please visit us online or reach out directly to 高级项目经理, 追逐麦克纳米, at 追逐.mcnamee@gdzhipin.com 了解更多信息.

团结和力量,
