Beloved New Culture community,

We at Center for a New Culture want to voice our solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and the worldwide protests currently taking place against racial injustice and systemic oppression.  In the wake of the senseless deaths of George Floyd and countless other black people and people of color, we are in a time of movement, demonstration, and change.

The leadership of Center for a New Culture is in active discussion about what actions we will take to best serve our communities and the movement to end white supremacy.

In addition, we believe this is a decisive moment for all of us as individuals to resource, ground, and take effective action against racial injustice.  Here are some ways you can contribute to the cause:
