    This past year has once again highlighted how systemic racism affects every
    aspect of our society. The combination of COVID-19 and senseless police
    killings have reinforced the urgency of the continued fight against racial
    inequality. We must act now to create policies and enact laws that don’t just
    acknowledge racial disparities, but turn the tides towards a more equal and
    just society.
    Please join CHILDREN AT RISK virtually on March 19 to thank our legislative
    champions for their work and dedication in the fight against racial
    inequality, and lend your voice to ensure the fight against systemic racism
    remains a priority in the legislative session.
