MSCSW Statement on Racism 

The murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police Officers and subsequent protest activity has rocked our nation. It has focused our attention on the persisting atrocity of racism in our institutions and culture. Again, we’re reminded of the loss of invaluable lives, Black and Brown lives- such as Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Philandro Castile.
 
As the community grieves innocent lives lost, we are invited and compelled to reflect on ourselves and our institutions.
 
The Minnesota Society for Clinical Social work vows to look not only inward but to participate in the dialogue addressing the persistence of racism in our society.
 
Since inception, this organization has aimed to promote the dignity, well-being, and self-determination of the individual, a professional practice characterized by competence and integrity, and a society offering opportunities to all members in a just manner and without discrimination.
 
Therefore, we wish to do our part to bring about change. We commit to meet the challenge of this time through self-reflection, careful listening, and advocacy.”
