INDEPENDENT LIVING NETWORK
STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY

As a network we feel responsible to advocate for people of color, a community who historically and continuously fights discrimination. We take this vow of support and solidarity against social injustice, systemic racism and police brutality. Quote: I wish I could say that racism and prejudice were only distant memories. We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust... We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better." Thurgood Marshall (U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1967-1991)
