More like thisThese words from Martin Luther King, Jr. are a reminder that we all have a responsibility to take a stand when we witness injustice. We, at National Disability Institute, stand with the Black community – people and families with and without
disabilities – in rejecting personal and systemic racism and violence. We know that the intersection of race, disability and poverty exacerbates the challenges many people face. We will continue to fight every day to mitigate those challenges. We also know that, right now, a focus on economic empowerment and financial justice is not enough. So we are supporting our staff to participate as allies, we are reviewing our diversity and inclusion goals, and we are fostering our relationships with other national organizations in support of marginalized communities. These are uncomfortable and powerful times. We are an ally. Let us work together to enact the change we so desire. In hope and solidarity for change, National Disability Institute Below is a message from Tulane University School of Social Work Dean Patrick Bordnick: I have been at a loss for words and comprehension at the continuous public displays of racism, murder, violence, and hatred towards African Americans, Asians, and
other marginalized groups. This past week we witnessed another traumatic series of events in a long history of violence and oppression. George Floyd is not the first black man to die at the hands of police, nor the first person of color to die in the name of hatred. Mourning these deaths, ending hatred, and our steadfast power to not stop, brings with it a call-to-action. In the face of racism, hatred, brutality, murder, and violence, we must reaffirm our values and commitment as caring
people, as social workers, and as educators. Social justice is not just a term we say, it is a call-to-action. Now is the time to live it through our advocacy and actions. We must engage in activities that “enhance the well-being and equitable treatment of diverse individuals,” as our mission states. The lyrics of the song “Wake Up Everybody” are as relevant now as they were in 1975: “The world won't get no better If we just let it be, The world won't get no better We gotta change
it, Just you and me” (Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes). Now more than ever, it is important that we work against racism, police brutality, poverty, food insecurity, health and mental health disparities, unfair housing practices, violence, mass incarceration, and other injustices. Injustices never rest, and neither can we! In 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King said: Sincerely, Patrick Patrick S. Bordnick, MPH, Ph.D. Dean and Professor Tulane School of Social Work Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere |
