BLACK LIVES MATTER.
To the CWBS community and beyond,
Columbia Women’s Business Society stands firmly against racial injustice, police brutality, and racial discrimination of all types. We are proud to stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and with the protesters demanding justice in support of Black Americans in our nation. The systematic oppression Black communities in this country have faced is not only bolstered by but has historically emanated from, state-sanctioned racial violence and racially charged violent groups. The cruel and relentless power given to and exercised by the police is the force that allows the continuation of murder and violence at hands of law enforcement officers. The brutality must end, and we at CWBS will do our part in supporting the Black community. As students, as a pre-professional society, as women, and as residents of Harlem, we have a responsibility to stand against all racism, and stand beside our Black communities, amplifying their voices and the work that is being done in the name of justice. We demand justice for all Black people in this country and we ask that our community take this stance with us.
As the foremost undergraduate women’s business society at Columbia, we acknowledge our responsibility in actively supporting the Black community, particularly Black women in business, and in taking a stand against racism. We are committed to tangible support of Black women in business, and will use our entity to encourage others to do so as well.
We will be providing resources on our website and social media specifically tailored to the professional development of black women in business. Throughout the next few weeks, we will be crowdsourcing donations to The Bail Project Inc. and will be matching donations in the near future. Please refer to the link in our bio for more organizations to donate to yourself. We will be sharing resources on various ways to support the Black community on our social media.
The fight does not end here.
In Solidarity,
The CWBS Executive Board 2020 - 2021
