Our last Design Team meeting! #20years

This sculpture located in Copenhagen clearly depicts what @darrenwalker is talking about: Racial Justice requires giving up power. Click on the link to read his op-ed titled "Are you willing to give up your privilege?" mailchi.mp/fordfoundation.or… @FordFoundation @ebensimon

In full support from CUE's staff, @ebensimon wrote a letter to demonstrate solidarity for @marissiko & @A__Greer by providing this Thursday & Friday off in recognition of the unique collective trauma they experience as Black people. Read here: bit.ly/CUESolidarityLetter @USCRossier

We share this letter as an example of the work we still need to do, even as a center committed to racial equity. We aim to spark conversations about anti-blackness, #Juneteenth & the well-being of Black/African Americans. @ebensimon bit.ly/CUESolidarityLetter

The first action we are taking is to meet this Wednesday. Non-Black staff members will critically interrogate how anti-Black racism exists within our own institution and Center. We will continue to develop concrete action steps to move our work on racial equity forward.

CUE's Director @ebensimon & staff members @EsmeraldaH_H, @marissiko, @A__Greer & #DebbieHanson met last Wednesday to discuss how #CUE can show solidarity for Black people & the Movement for Black Lives #M4BL @USCRossier
