We at Ripple Community Inc. stand alongside the black and brown voices that are calling for justice in this country and in our own community. We validate their experiences of blatant and subtle racism, unfair treatment by the police, and discrimination in our government systems. Our Community Building Center seeks to build empathy across racial, socioeconomic, political, and cultural backgrounds. As an organization, we value community, peace, reconciliation, and mutual transformation. We are committed to upholding these values and finding ways to cultivate them in others. We strive to create a community where everyone is treated equally, regardless of the color of their skin, and work to end the evil of racism. We regret any time we have been complicit to racism and we are committed to working for racial justice.

To all our friends and community members who are hurting, angry, or scared, we see you. We hear you. We stand with you.
