“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” -Martin Luther King Jr.
We are outraged by the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and the unjustified deaths of many other black men and women across this country. We stand with you in solidarity and denounce any acts of racism, bigotry, violence, and hate. Black Lives Matter.
UNLV Student Nurses Association’s mission is to build future leaders, and to uphold that mission, we all must do more. We must advocate for our Black future leaders, friends, and peers, as well as recognize the continuous oppression of Black Americans in our country. We must do more.
As future leaders, we must actively listen and be aware of all the cruel actions in our country. We must educate ourselves and each other about the ongoing racial injustice and hate in our country. We must speak up against the injustice within the system. We must advocate for change. We must do more.
To all our Black future leaders, friends, and peers, we see you, we respect you, and we stand with you.
Sincerely,
Martina Yturralde
UNLV SNA President
