At Citizens Committee for New York City, we stand with the protesters and those who seek justice for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, and countless Black lives taken by racist violence.

We uphold Black communities worn down in the daily fight against systemic racism. Our organization is committed to amplifying your voices, Black New Yorkers.

We are unwavering in our mission to build a better New York City, one that is equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist.

We may be weary, but we cannot quit.

Together, we rise. Black Lives Matter.
