To our Marin Theatre Company Community,
Theater is an important tool that builds empathy and creates change in our world. That is what we strive for with every production we mount. But speaking through art alone is not enough – we cannot just be passive protesters.
Racist violence that is itself a pandemic in our country and in our world must end. The murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, among the countless others who have been victimized by racist violence in our nation’s history must not be forgotten or ignored. We must all demand justice. We must all continue to fight against white supremacy and racism in all its forms.
While we, as a nation and a world, have been forced to pause from what was our “normal” to create a safer world, we must ensure that “safer” includes safety for all Americans and all global citizens. We must move from passivity to action in seeking safety, justice, and respect for every person.
We stand with all of our black artists and black community members during this time, and always. #blacklivesmatter.
