A Statement from CCLR Executive Director, Meredith Hendricks

Right now we are experiencing deep pain as a country, as people, but the historic inequities behind that pain are not new. We join you in grief over the murder of George Floyd and countless others who have been killed by systemic and overert racsism. At CCLR, we stand in solidarity with generations of people of color who have experienced this pain. We condemn racist systems and behavior that create disproportionate burdens in our communities. Everyone deserves to feel safe. CCLR works to drive forward equitable and sustainable land reuse as a part of supporting whole and just communities. We are committed to evolving our own work, deepening our partnerships, and educating ourselves about how to do better for one other.
