Statement of Support for BLM (archive)

UCSB Rowing stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement. We are sympathetic to the families of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others who have fallen in the face of systemic racism and discrimination prevalent in our country. As a team, it is our duty to take care of each other and let humanity prevail. We support our black community in the efforts against hate and injustice. Whether you are at home educating yourself or on the frontlines protesting and emailing officials, you are doing what you can. Just as we do in the boat, the only thing we need to do is keep pushing forward, strong and together.
