African Community Leadership Forum

For Immediate Release:


The African Leadership Community Forum-RI is heartbroken by the killing of George Floyd and wishes to reaffirm our support for the Black Lives Matter movement, to applaud the legitimate demand of protesters for equality and the right of citizens to petition their Government. The global reaction to the killing of George Floyd reminds us that nothing short of equity and abolishing all forms of racial discrimination will suffice.

We wish to thank all who have stayed on the side of justice throughout this struggle for equity and justice for people of color. All too often, black have been majorly victims of police brutality, and in our criminal justice system. Inadequate investment in our neighborhood schools and clinics, lack of economic opportunity continues to hinder the quest of Blacks for economic freedom. Deliberate oppressive Government policies have stripped people of color of their inherent dignity. This must change. Institutionalized Racism MUST STOP. Voter’s suppression MUST STOP.

The ACLF-RI is calling on all elected officials not to neglect the purpose of recent protests and the voice of the people; it will be an affront to the memory of George Floyd if we return to the status quo. We support reforming the police bill of rights, fair representation in the judiciary, equality in social determinate of health, equality in housing, equity in economic opportunity and many more.


 The ACLF-RI will continue to defend the rights of citizens to peaceful protest. We will continue to partner with all stakeholders to bring an end to racism. This is a pivotal moment in the history of our country; we must not miss this rare opportunity to right the wrong of hundreds of years and let the United States of America be all inclusive, and no longer separated or judged by the color of our skins.


In Solidarity,

ACLF TEAM!
