Dear Lark Family,
We are deeply saddened by the senseless killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, Riah Milton, Dominique Fells, and the countless others before them. Lark Traditional Arts stands in solidarity with the communities and families who have lost loved ones, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the global protests against systemic racism and police brutality. We encourage you to find ways to support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and the organizations committed to defending and protecting them. There are many forms our individual and collective support can take. We are working on curating a list of resources to help people explore these topics and expand their knowledge. We will share these resources soon, and encourage community members to recommend resources for us to include.
Sincerely and with love,
Will Wheeler (President)
Celia Ramsay (Vice President)
Meghan Miller (Secretary/Treasurer)
