Israel & Samuels LLP stands in solidarity with those grieving the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Miles Hall and countless other Black Americans across this country who are being killed by police violence and subjected to systemic injustice. We demand action now to end the vicious cycle of racial inequality. We must have a legal system where everyone — and every community — is afforded dignity and respect; where “protect and serve” in law enforcement is a universal mandate, free of police brutality. We believe that being a leader in the community means speaking up against injustice and victimization and that getting help for those who need it will ensure a just future for everyone. We urge you to join us in taking action now against racism, inequality, and police brutality. Here are a few ways that you can help:
- Seek out and support organizations whose primary mission is to end systematic injustice, police violence, and racial inequality, including:
- Educate yourself, your family, and friends about the issues of racial inequality and police violence. Read articles and books to understand the experience of people of color, and the history of racial injustice in our country.
- Vote your values. Systemic change can only happen when we, as voters, elect representatives who will translate our demands for justice into laws and practices.
While solving systemic injustice is difficult, it is not impossible. The only way we can get there is by working together. Don’t be silent. Be a part of the solution.
Thank you for your continued support. We hope everyone is safe and healthy.
