Listen and Change

In the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd and other Black Americans, the world has risen up in pain and anguish to condemn social injustice and racism that has systematically impacted the lives of people of color. Many of you have shared your outrage and impatience regarding lack of diversity in our profession, structural racism in our American culture that leads to inequities, and the need for a lasting systemic change. You have asked for implicit bias training, cultural humility, and frank conversations. You have asked us to look internally as individual members and as an organization. And you have asked us to listen.
