The Empowerment Program stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. We condemn police brutality and the systemic, physical, emotional and psychological violence against black people. We also condemn the larger, societal disease of white supremacy and the entire system of racist, oppressive rules, laws, policies and practices that evolved out of the persistent refusal to view black people as equals. We know black lives have just as much value as white lives and we will not tolerate the rhetoric of fear and anger so many use to sustain power.
To radically change the culture of law enforcement, we must all work to radically change the culture of our entire society. We vow to amplify the voices of individuals who have deep, profound knowledge and insight that come from experiencing severe racial and social injustice. We are dedicated to empowering those who have been directly impacted by injustice and racism to emerge as partners and leaders of the movements for justice we are building.
We commit to the demanding work transformative change requires. We will vote, engage in policy change and hold ourselves and everyone around us accountable for the restoration of basic civil and human rights for people of color.
