A Message From La Casa Norte
Our city is in pain. Like many across the country we are mourning the loss of George Floyd and all individuals who have unjustly lost their lives. This weekend many chose to take to the streets to protest the decades of police brutality and structural racism that led to his death. For some, what started as a peaceful protest became a violent display of anger and civil unrest. It was heartbreaking to watch our communities being torn apart around us. The same communities that our youth and families turn to as a place of refuge. However, we cannot lose sight of the source of this anger. No one should live in fear of losing their lives at the hands of the civil servants entrusted to protect our communities. We all deserve to live in a world free from racism and injustice. We must continue to organize to hold our justice system accountable and work together to rebuild our communities. While we will never condone violence, La Casa Norte stands in solidarity with all who are fighting for social justice.
