With Humility and In Solidarity

It is with humility that Theater Latté Da joins the chorus of those speaking out against the murder of George Floyd and the long history of racism, discrimination, and violence against our Black citizens, artists, and friends. We speak with humility because we recognize that we as a predominantly white organization benefit from that position of privilege and in turn contribute to the systemic racism bringing us here today. We speak with humility because we know how much more work we must do to become a more equitable and inclusive organization, and we are committed to doing that work.

In this spirit, we raise our voices loudly and stand tall in solidarity. We stand in solidarity with the Black community demanding justice for George Floyd. We stand in solidarity with the thousands of protesters who are demanding change NOW. We stand in solidarity with the passionate, brilliant Artists of Color in our community who have been doing the hard work for a long time.

We are including here a robust list of Black-led arts organizations in the Twin Cities. We need to hear their voices now more than ever. We honor their work and their wisdom. Please support them today and down the long road ahead.

With humility and in solidarity,
Theater Latté Da
