The Coalition for Green Capital released the following statement in light of the police murder of George Floyd and calls for the United States to root out systemic racism.
Over the past weeks we have once again seen the dehumanization and devaluation of Black lives in America. The systemic violence and inequality in this country are intolerable, and this must stop. The entire CGC organization stands with the Black community and protesters. We will work with them to end this injustice.
CGC was founded to build a better future. That is why, particularly at this moment, CGC is committed to listening, learning and working to become a more equitable and inclusive organization. These values are central to what we advocate for and how we must reverse the impacts of climate change. In this way, we hope to do our part to bring justice to our world.
