Demanding Justice

Black Lives Matter

YIMBY Action stands with the protestors demanding justice across the country. The murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, and many others — so many that the simple demand to say their names is now a rallying call for justice — have rocked communities across the country. People are righteously enraged about decades of racism in policing, in healthcare, in housing, in schooling, in every aspect of human life.

Black lives matter. We demand justice. We have a great deal of work to do to change the systems of oppression so that Black people can live without fear of state-sponsored oppression. As an organization, we join the chorus raising their voices against racism and police brutality.

Words are where we start, but they are insufficient. We must end police violence. We must dismantle systems of segregation and oppression. Antiracism must be incorporated into everything we do. As we take action for justice in housing, we must take action for justice in every aspect of our organizing and in every part of our government.

Signed,
