16th DSA Biennial National Conference
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The DSA Board notes that this is a sad week. Today, there is a memorial services for George Floyd, an innocent black man who was kneeled to his last breath by a white policeman. It was not the first one. Similar actions by police happened many times in the past and racism continues. When will racism stop? What is our role? Should we be passive when people around us practice racism? Enough is enough! It is our responsibility to speak out and stop racism. America is for people of all colors. United, we stay strong!
