A statement from John Smith, Board Chair, and Joy Burkhard, Executive Director

#NoJusticeNoPeace. Recent events of police brutality and killing of African-American men are a part of a long, horrific history of injustices that aim to dismantle families and create mental, physical, and economic anguish. African-American mothers face even greater stress compounded by the plague of racism. She prays daily that her husband, son, and daughter are protected & come home safely without incidents due to the color of their beautiful skin.
