Triangle’s Commitment Statement
We stand firmly with Black Lives Matter and all marginalized people, and those working toward racial justice, equity, and inclusion. We stand with all oppressed people who live in a world made dangerous and unjust by systemic racism. History and lived experience matter, and because of that, we declare ourselves as not impartial and not neutral about this issue – not in our private lives and not in our work.
