A MESSAGE REGARDING #BlackLivesMatter

A Message to the CLSBA Community,

We want to make a public statement regarding the murder of George Floyd in plain sight. Our hearts go out to his family and our fists go up in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters, the Latino community stands in Unity with you all.We send our sincerest condolences to the Floyd Family for the Tragic loss of their beloved father, husband, brother, uncle, and friend as well as to all those lost lives taken by one of the leading causes of death for young Black men in America: police brutality.

As we have witnessed across our nation the peaceful protests,  the police condemnation of the misuse of force, and the people rising up against this misuse of force, we call for action and policies to stop this unjust abuse.Unfortunately the violence, death and oppression against Black and Brown communities continues.We stand with our Black brothers and sisters and their families as well as ALL communities in solidarity to stop this fatal aggression toward our Black and Brown men and women.We must collectively unite and transform our own realities now and forever. As California Latino Board Members, we stand in solidarity with all our communities in not just advocating but taking action in “... and justice for all.” 
BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!
