The recent murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd are symptomatic of institutional racism and the inter-generational oppression, discrimination, and inequities faced by black and brown communities in Florida. The No Roads to Ruin Coalition Steering Committee stands in solidarity with those who are fighting for change.
Acknowledging past and present injustices is the first step to understanding how we can prioritize the needs of the black community moving forward. We need policies that recognize and address police violence, white supremacy, and racial disparities, including those caused by transportation projects that divide and upend brown and black communities.
