Statement on Racial Justice

October 9, 2020 1444 Comments off administrator Business, Social Justice

We at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Bangor are appalled at the violence and systemic racism perpetrated against black people and people of color in our country, exemplified recently by the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, and Stephon Clark, among many others.

We mourn the loss of countless lives associated with recent and continued injustices against black and other people of color and condemn all acts of hatred. We send our compassionate condolences with renewed commitment to join the struggle for peace, justice, and liberty for black people in this country, who should be able to live freely, without the persisting threat of violence.

Our faith calls us to actively ‘affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person’ and to stand for ‘justice, equity, and compassion in human relations for all people.’ In living out those principles, we actively struggle to identify and defeat racism and systems of oppression in our community and society at large.
