This current moment in time, when so many of us are coming together to speak out against the injustices that have resulted in the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and so many others, provides an opportunity to recognize and remove the systemic racism that is baked into the infrastructure our country is built upon.
We at BioNexus KC see, hear and support our black friends, neighbors and colleagues and commit to doing our part to speak out against police brutality and systemic racism. We will use our position in the community as a convener to combat the inequalities that exist in education, healthcare and overall opportunity.
