Address Racism in San Bernardino County

Posted by: WSS News in Local May 31, 2020 970 Views

What is the Purpose of this Demonstration?

The killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor are only a reminder of what we already know: structural, systemically-protected racism is alive and well. We can no longer allow public servants to ignore these atrocities committed against black people, the time to act is now! This demonstration is a call to action demanding that state and local officials address disparate impacts of structural racism as a public health crisis. This will lead to dialogue with key public servants to talk about local accountability measures for law enforcement and to call for a resolution to declare racism a public health crisis in San Bernardino County. We’re not only demanding this resolution declaring racism a public health crisis, we are also pushing for a county-wide study illuminating the public health impact of structural racism and key recommendations and strategies for a systemic response to address care needs associated with long-term effects of racism.
