A Message of Solidarity from MBC

The Minority Bar Coalition (MBC) stands in full support of the Black Lives Matter movement and the efforts of each and every one of our member organizations to unite a divisive country during this painfully historic time. We espouse the words of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison:
​

“There is a role for all who dream of a justice we haven’t had yet. In the final analysis, a protest can shake the tree and make the fruit fall down. But after that fruit is in reach, collecting it and making the jam must follow. The demonstration is dramatic and necessary. But building just institutions is slower and more of a grind, and just as important. We need your energy there too. We need it now.”
 

In keeping with Attorney General Ellison’s charge, in the next few days one of the MBC Co-Chairs will contact the leaders of each member organization to see how the MBC can support your organization.


In the meantime, MBC is working to compile a collective database of information each of us can use as a resource.  To that end, please let us know if your organization has identified or collected any causes to support, places to send donations, places to seek legal help, or any other information in support of the movements for racial justice and police reform being led by Black Lives Matter and other organizations nationwide, and what (if anything) your organization is doing in response to or in support of these movements.  You can send that information to: minoritybarcoalition2@gmail.com.

Finally, if you have any events planned please add them to the MBC's calendar [below]:
https://minoritybarcoalition.weebly.com/events.html and let us know if you would like the MBC to promote it. 
We look forward to connecting with all of you in the coming days, and supporting you in your efforts.
​
In solidarity,

The Minority Bar Coalition
