The following is a joint statement issued by The National Black Sisters’ Conference (NBSC) and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in response to the conviction of former police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd.
The Provincial Leadership Team of the Marie de la Roche Provinces supports the LCWR statement on diversity.
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious condemns racism and sexism in all their harmful forms whether the violent acts of white supremacists and misogynists or the daily acts of hate and discrimination that diminish us all.
Congratulations to Carmen González Arias, CDP, for her piece Crises in Puerto Rico: US Policy and the Resilience of the People which explores the troubled relationship between the federal government of the United States and the people of the Common Wealth of Puerto Rico.
