Worship and Ministry Questionnaire 2019 – Olympia Friends Meeting

American Friends Service Committee’s May 29, 2020 press release on the killing of George Floyd and police violence against protestors includes:

“The brutal murder of George Floyd is the consequence of a racist system that disproportionately targets people of color for violence, imprisonment, and premature death,” said Shanene Herbert, director of AFSC’s Healing Justice program in Saint Paul. “Firing these police officers is not enough. We need resources directed away from the police forces that occupy our communities. We need investment in our young people, in our schools, in our health care, and in transformative forms of justice that address the root causes of harm.”
