Safe Shelter joins our partners who work against relationship violence in condemning not just the most recent of events but also the centuries of discrimination and abuse against people of color. We acknowledge that Black people, Indigenous people, and Latinx and other communities of color have been devastated and traumatized by violence, white supremacy and the structural racism perpetrated against them.
All forms of violence and oppression are connected; you cannot fight against one form of injustice and not fight against others. In the words of Audrey Lorde,
“There is no such thing as a single issue struggle because we do not live single issue lives.”
We recognize there is no simple answer to the nation’s history of systemic violence but we remain committed to work toward positive change as allies alongside communities of color in disrupting racism and white supremacy on a personal and professional level and advocating for systemic reforms.
As allies, we start by listening and by acting – today, tomorrow, and for every tomorrow in the future.
