We at San Diego REP cannot and will not tolerate the systemic racism that continues to plague our country.
We are crushed by the senseless and tragic deaths of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and Rayshard Brooks—and of the far too many black lives that have systemically been cut short over centuries, before them.
Our mission has long been to nourish progressive political and social values, and implicit in that is the responsibility to stand up for marginalized communities. We vow to examine and dismantle the structures of racism within theatre, within society, and within the deepest part of our own selves.
We stand in unity with our Black brothers and sisters.
Black Lives Matter.
We ask you to join us in taking action today. Together let us lift our voices and galvanize our collective privilege, creativity and financial capacity—to work relentlessly towards finally delivering the promise of that arc towards justice for all. Once and for all.
