Response to the Death of
George Floyd
The YWCA of Northwest Ohio sends
our deep condolences to the family, friends, and community
of George Floyd. We are disgusted by the senseless actions
inflicted by the Minneapolis police officers, and we stand
with citizens all over the world who are hurt, enraged, and
fed up with the abuse of power subjected on people of color
in America due to police brutality. “I can’t breathe” are
words that trigger basic human responses. The video of this
horrifying assault shows a blatant disregard for human life.
We must channel our outrage into peaceful protest and united
voices from all races are to confront systemic racism and
promote equitable policies. The YWCA is on a mission. Let’s
do this for George Floyd!
The YWCA of Northwest Ohio is
dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and
promoting peace, justice freedom and dignity for all. Please
contact us to host or participate in a Dialogue to Change.
