Black Lives Matter IBANGS stands in solidarity with the Black community to mourn the death of George Floyd and to challenge systemic racism and injustice. We are committed to being an ally and providing a diverse, inclusive, and safe society. We encourage our members to take action by: 1) continuing to educate themselves and each other on institutional racism; 2) to stand up and call out racism, and any other type of discrimination when they see it; and 3) supporting organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Black Lives Matter. We will also be using this time to look within IBANGS and examine the ways in which we can strengthen our current and future commitment to equity and inclusion, and to plan for the future accordingly.
