Social Justice: Black Lives Matter
IPSL stands with all who condemn police brutality, systemic racism, discrimination and oppression of any kind. We stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter and BIPOC movements to build just relationships and invest in one another’s liberation.
We want to convey our deepest sympathy and solidarity with all summoned to action by the senseless murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and other people of color
At IPSL, we want to be of service to you and communities around the world to bring justice and healing and further advance the goal of peace that we all share. To address issues of racial injustice, we need to to build the type of systems we want to see. Words mean nothing unless we change our behavior. We commit to progress, action, and accountability. We commit to being actively anti-racist.
