Yale WiCS stands in solidarity with the black community in the fight for racial equality.

The recent murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor have continued a pattern of injustice that has been present in our country for centuries, and we must demand change.

Technology has continued to profit off racism, transphobia, and sexism globally.
