Dear BSC Dancers,
There is a lot happening in the world. The tragic deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and countless others demand our action. As members of a community and a shared humanity, we need to pause and look deeply – first, into ourselves and our social networks, and then into the systems and institutions that perpetuate these injustices.
We are taking this week off from virtual classes and programming in an effort to create space for other voices to share their experiences and time for us to listen, engage, and act. We realize that in the midst of deep emotion and uncertainty it can be paralyzing to know where to begin. We recommend starting with this page from Black Lives Matter, and have linked some additional resources below.
Immediate and lasting change requires every single one of us taking conscious steps to demand accountability. Listen. Educate. Donate. Speak. Act. Join us in calling out racism and injustice and in taking steps towards a more equitable future for our Boston community and our wider world.
