PASR Statement on Racial Justice - July 29, 2020
In these days of continued social change, The Pennsylvania Association of School Retirees (PASR), denounces racism in all its forms. We wish to acknowledge the pain and anger being expressed by People of Color in protests around the country from years of unequal treatment. We also denounce inequality in any form as well as violence against any minority group in the United States. We support and practice empathy and understanding of different points of view. PASR also recognizes that the diversity of our members and the citizens of this country is one of our greatest strengths.
