This week, we made the following statement across our social media platforms:

As the fight against oppression and racism continues, know that MCRCC stands with you! For us to end sexual violence, all forms of oppression must be eliminated. The senseless acts of violence against POC such as: George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Nina Pop, Tony McDade, Sean Reed and unfortunately, so many others is heartbreaking and is 100% unacceptable. 

Those who commit acts of violence must be held accountable. We all have a responsibility to speak up and speak out against institutionalized systemic racism in our communities, our workplaces and even our homes. 

If you need to talk to someone, we have a SAFE, ANONYMOUS and CONFIDENTIAL helpline available 24/7. Please pick up the phone and dial 831-424-4357 to talk to someone ASAP.
