Friends, Colleagues, Members of the PCPP Community—
We are outraged by the death of George Floyd. We are outraged by the structural racism that continues to enact violence towards–and facilitate the murder of–Black Americans. PCPP stands in solidarity with the Black community and the activists working toward change. Beyond displaying signs of solidarity, it is crucial that we take action against the systems and policies that uphold injustice. Below is a list of general resources, places to donate, petitions to sign, and information for photographers.
