Anti-Racist Statement

The Society of Rogerian Scholars stands with those protesting against the longstanding pattern of systemic racism resulting in violent deaths of Black People and serious health disparities in Black Communities. We understand the integral connection between the environment and wellbecoming, and we are dedicated to the mutual processes of creating a more just and equitable world. We understand that systemic racism is also associated with other marginalized communities.

We believe that power is the capacity of all humans to participate knowingly in change. We commit to participate knowingly in change of the political, social and economic environment. The power of knowing participation in change requires ensuring an awareness of the structures that sustain discrimination and racism, freedom to act intentionally to transform those structures, while choosing to support equality, equity, and justice, and involvement in creating change for human betterment.
