Statement from MEANYC
In light of the recent world events, MEANYC wants to make it clear that our organization does not tolerate any form of racism. We support our membership, our students and stand in solidarity with this search to end ongoing injustices.
Many of you have joined this endeavor by marching and speaking out to support the Black Lives Matter protests, while others have made honest discussions of social justice a priority in their online learning for students.
Historically, the power of music has been used countless times through protest songs, songs of peace, songs of hope, to challenge injustices. In fact, much of American music is indebted to Black American music and the struggles through adversity of the Black American community.
We will not stand silent in this crucial dialogue of systemic racism and inequality. MEANYC will continue to support you and your students to create meaningful change in our city, our country, and indeed, our world.
Please know MEANYC is supporting you.
