In the Face of Impunity, the UUA Remains in Unequivocal Solidarity with Black Communities
September 24, 2020
Yesterday, a grand jury in Louisville announced that there would be no murder charges against the police officers who killed Breonna Taylor. This news is both heartbreaking, and heartbreakingly unsurprising: it is yet another affirmation that Black lives are disposable to the state, and that police are allowed to kill Black people with impunity.
Our Unitarian Universalist faith has at its foundation the belief in the inherent worth and dignity of all human beings– a core value that every single person is equally embraced by that great Love from which we are all born, and which holds us all without exception. To hold unwaveringly this truth in the face of a white supremacist system that devalues and defiles Black people with such regularity means that we must state again, unequivocally:
Black Lives Matter.
Black Lives Matter.
Black Lives Matter.
