CREST

CARA Members,

CARA is more than a professional association, it’s a community. Members of our community are suffering and have been suffering for centuries. Black lives matter.

To the Black members of our community and beyond- we see you. We are listening. We are acting.

To the members of our community who are allies - while we don't hold the single solution to this problem, we do have the collective skills (active listening, research, analysis, compassion) to become part of the solution, to become anti-racist.

Meaningful progress toward a solution requires acknowledging and welcoming all those who truly stand for a country where all Black lives matter.

For those reading this who wish to embark on the work of becoming anti-racist, we have provided a list of resources below. This list is neither exhaustive or ideal, it is merely a beginning:

Black Lives Matter (BLM)
Racial Equity Tools

BIPOC
Non-Racist v. Actively Anti-Racist
Dear White People, This is What We Want You To Do (Embedded Resource List)

Mapping Police Violence

Police Scorecard

Prison Policy Initiative:

Sincerely,

CARA Board

RESCHEDULED FROM 6/26 to 7/17
