Action Alert: Declare racism a public health crisis. Click here to send a message.
The harm in our communities due to racism can no longer be ignored. We must advocate for a solution that advocates for public safety that is administered equitably, advances equal opportunity, and dismantles racism.
We are calling on all elected leaders to declare racism a public health crisis and allocate resources to establish an Office of Racial Equity that would work to develop in all local, state, and federal agencies a Racial Equity Framework that provides guidelines for inclusive policies and practices that reduce racial inequities, promote racial equity, address individual, institutional, and structural racism, and establish goals and strategies to advance racial equity and address structural racism and racial inequities.
Can you take 1 (one) minute and send a message to lawmakers to declare racism a public health crisis?

I have never seen such hate grow so fast in my life and the rise to hate must not be our fate! So we must band together no matter who are and help fight this unbelievable huge rise of racism and I myself grew up in a very racist household and others I grew up with, do not share my values needless to say, I cannot be around the hate! But since 2016 someone made it ok for groups and clubs to go anywhere and intimate anyone they want and that's scary as hell! This hate and racism on so many levels must stop! These people who claim are Christians that sow hate are cults because true Christians DO NOT exclude people just for the color of their skin or lifestyle preference! I've said enough for now thank you.
