McEA Statement--Black Lives Matter
We live in a historic time of resistance and change. As educators, we feel the weight of our civic responsibilities in this moment, along with our deep personal reactions. We all want to build a more just society. We all want safe spaces to thrive without fear, take care of our families and friends, have our voices heard and our rights respected. The professional educators of the McMinnville Education Association pledge to unite in this time of action and lead by example for our students and communities. We encourage everyone to participate in this significant moment by engaging with one another--listening, learning, and sharing our experiences. We commit to creating safe spaces for our communities of color--students, families, and educators. We call for our educational institutions to work to identify their own implicit biases and systemic racism. We commit to doing the work in McEA to make our union an inclusive organization. We stand in solidarity with our communities of color and encourage our members to join in peaceful and civil discourse during this important time. Together we can eliminate oppression and uproot the manifestations of racial inequality and discrimination. Together we are better. McMinnville Education Association--ONE TEAM
