United African Organization

Standing Together for Justice & Dignity

June 1, 2020AdminAdvocacy, Blog

United African Organization stands in solidarity with the Floyd family as we mourn the tragic death of George Floyd. Their loss is our loss. We feel the pain and grieve with them.

As African immigrants and refugees, we live and experience discrimination everyday of our lives. We believe it is time for change. We need a world where we are not judged by the color of our skin but by the content of our character.

Amidst our pain and anguish, we remain hopeful as we see young people of all races and ethnicity stepping up and speaking out to demand dignity for Black lives.

This moment presents an opportunity for the US to make radical and transformational changes at city, county, state and federal levels that curb police brutality and dismantle systemic racism.

As we mourn, we commit ourselves to  organize and hold institutions of power accountable. And we remain resolute and relentless in the quest for justice and dignity.

Black Lives Matter!

Sincerely,

Godfrey Chinomina, Board Chair
