At Future Chefs, we stand in solidarity with the Black community and their allies in Boston and across the country. We are devastated by the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others who have lost their lives to unchecked police brutality and white supremacy. We are outraged by the continued police violence in response to protesters across the nation. And we are speaking out because silence in the wake of marginalization and oppression is not an option.
As an organization, we have always been committed to the fight against racial inequality, but we know we can do better. We are committed to continuing to work toward our goal of eliminating the socioeconomic inequalities faced by communities of color as the result centuries of exploitation and oppression. Furthermore, we commit to engaging intentionally with our anti-racist and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies in order to educate ourselves and advocate for our communities.
Police brutality, systemic racism, and white supremacy are all issues that directly affect the youth we serve and therefore we urge you to support the #blacklivesmatter movement in any way that you can. Protest. Donate. Educate yourselves and those around you. Support Black owned businesses. As individuals, community organizations, small businesses, and large corporations we must all continue the fight for justice.
