CTR supports the Violence Free Colorado’s recent statement – Moment of Truth – which was written “in response to the police trauma and violence experienced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).”
“This is a moment of reckoning. The murder of George Floyd broke the collective heart of this country, and now, finally, millions of people are saying their names: George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery – an endless list of Black Lives stolen at the hands and knees of police. The legacies of slavery and unfulfilled civil rights, colonialism and erasure, hatred and violence, have always been in full view. Turning away is no longer an option. Superficial reform is not enough.”
