Take the EJBC Pledge

I stand in solidarity protesting oppression and demanding equity in this time of momentous change.

I recognize the immense negative impact American slavery has made on Black Americans and I take responsibility to work toward racial healing and making amends.

I acknowledge the effects of slavery including the massive racial wealth gap, systemic and institutional racism and Black Americans being denied civil rights and access to resources including education.

I agree decisive action is needed to address the devastating aftermath of slavery holding communities back across our state.

I pledge today to take action against these wrongs and I am starting right here in my home state of Colorado. I pledge to advocate for educational reparations to be made to Black Coloradans to begin the healing process needed in our state and across our country. 

I pledge to not be silent. 

I pledge to be the change.

I demand educational justice for Black Coloradans.
