"Being responsible for creating the future it is important that we keep alive our capacity to imagine what that might be lest we continue to recreate the present.”
—Gordon Thorne
A.P.E. stands in solidarity with all those working for justice, safety, and equity and with those on the streets protesting the racist police murder of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and the countless other Black lives taken at the hands of the police.
We join with those individuals and organizations who are demanding a collective imagining of a world free of white supremacy. We acknowledge the ongoing work in the present moment that is necessary for building trust and equity in our communities, and commit to examining our organizational history and practices in an effort to increase accountability, accessibility, and inclusion, and to work to dismantle racism and white supremacy wherever we find it.
To our BIPOC community members, we recognize your pain. A.P.E. supports the fight for your rights to move and breathe, create and make, live and thrive, both locally in our communities and beyond.
