The Derek Chauvin guilty verdicts for the murder of George Floyd have left many of us struggling to process what the outcome of the trial means for us personally, as well as for our community and our work in philanthropy. Is this verdict an aberration, or does it present an inflection point for our country and our sector to truly pursue racial justice to end over 400 years of systemic racism in America?
On Thursday, April 29th, we invite you to join us for an open forum to share your reactions and reflections on the significance of the verdict, what it means in the context of continued use of deadly force against Black and brown bodies of all ages, and how we might seize this moment to propel the work of ending systemic racism and oppression.
