statement from Rowers4BLM: Rowing has always been seen as a predominantly white and wealthy sport. The sport as a whole has not been working diligently enough towards inclusiveness and diversity. It is time to recognize and use the privilege many of us are privy to in order to support the black community in the fight against the systematic racism that’s running rampant in America. In light of recent events, it as important as ever to denounce police brutality and demand justice for the innocent lives murdered at the hands of police. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. Too many others. Say their names. We have to do more to stop this, do better. We want to support and fundraise money to promote and help further the reach of the BLM movement. We want to support the black community while simultaneously starting a conversation within the rowing community, a conversation that is long overdue. We hope that you share this with friends, family, and other rowers! Spread the word!!
