Statements On the Murder of George Floyd and Protests for Black Lives

This is a collection of statements put out in May and June 2020 by Jewish Social Justice Roundtable organizations.  Remember, this is ongoing work. Being anti-racist is not a box to check off once but something to work towards every day. Continue to learn, discuss, and name your failures and learn from them.
