MNDC Steering Committee Response to George Floyd Murder
George Floyd's murder affected his family and friends, our community, our nation, and the world. His cries, and the cries of so many others whose lives have been minimized through unjust treatment or who have suffered from the oppression of racism, are being heard in Minnesota, the United States, and around the world. George Floyd’s death has affected all of us in one way or another, and we have yet to see what shifts and changes will come from it.
The MNDC Steering Committee feels that we have a responsibility to support and serve during this critical moment in history, which also presents an invitation for all of us to work toward dismantling our own racism, and to strive for a more just and peaceful world. In doing the work of supporting, serving, and creating change from within, we can also create change more broadly, thereby affecting our families, friends, community, nation, and the world.
We are Listening; We are Learning
In response to The Collective for Radical Death Studies call for action, Minnesota Death Collaborative will be donating $200 to the Minnesota Freedom Fund. We are calling on our professional partners to match our donation, and are also inviting MNDC Members to donate in honor of George Floyd. Any amount is meaningful and welcome!
We will continue to listen, learn, and take action in other ways that can have a lasting, positive impact within our community and beyond. We stand in support and solidarity with our sisters and brothers of color. There is much work to do.
