ECS Stands with San Francisco in Demanding Justice for George Floyd
“We express our deep condolences to the loved ones of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, David McAtee, and Tony McDade. We mourn with their families and friends, and the loved ones of countless others who have been killed by the police. We condemn the violence perpetrated against communities of color at the hands of the state, and recognize that this violence is not always as overt as a police officer’s knee on a man’s neck. The underfunding of public education in Black communities is itself violence. A lack of job opportunities, substandard housing conditions, inadequate access to medical care, and bias within the justice system are all forms of institutional violence.”
