We recognize that now is an uncertain and stressful time for many following the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and so many others due to the racial injustices against the African American community. It is during these troubling times that BMES at UC Riverside refuses to stay silent regarding the police brutality and systematic racism occurring in our country. We stand firmly against racism towards the African-American community and sympathize with those demanding that their voices be heard in order to change the direction of our nation’s future. We, as individuals, can bring about the change that is needed for a better future. Whether you decide to protest, petition, or show support in the many other ways that you can, make sure to stay safe and take care of your mental, physical and emotional health. We love and support all those who are speaking out against social injustice and encourage everyone who feels the same to do so as well. Black lives matter.
