Alleghenies Unlimited Care Providers stands in solidarity with those demanding justice for the countless lives lost to systemic racism, white supremacy, and police brutality.
We recognize that these are not isolated incidents. As an organization fighting for people with disabilities, we have a responsibility to speak out against systemic racism and work with our partners to help dismantle systems of white supremacy that perpetuate violence and harm against people of color. There can be no disability justice without racial justice. We are committed to showing up and standing with our partners, colleagues, employees, friends, and all people who experience social injustice and racism of all kinds.
If you are able, we urge you to support the organizations working on-the-ground right now to fight racial injustice, whether that’s through volunteering, speaking up when you need to, offering monetary support or learning about your own implicit bias.
Our movements are inextricably linked, and our mission to build an equitable and inclusive movement is only possible if we continue to fight for the health, safety, opportunity, and basic human rights of all people. Stand with us.
