As an organization that represents individuals that have all too often been the subjects of reprehensible acts of violence and brutality perpetrated by figures of authority, including law enforcement, Disability Rights Louisiana stands firmly with the family, friends and supporters of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, as they mourn, reject hate and demand justice.
Furthermore, Disability Rights Louisiana recognizes that the horrific circumstances surrounding these deaths are not circumstances in isolation, but the product of systemic racism.
Disability Rights Louisiana re-affirms our profound condemnation of all forms of prejudice, inequality and discrimination that act to perpetuate a diminished value of the human experience based on being a member of a marginalized community.
