A Statement by the SHA Board Regarding the Death of George Floyd

 

Like our entire community, members of the Summit Hill Association are reeling from the death of George Floyd.

We acknowledge the frustration, rage and grief that have taken hold throughout our community as a result of the circumstance surrounding Mr. Floyd’s death. We also acknowledge that we must channel that frustration, rage and grief into something transformative; something that can help us bring neighbors together and take real, concrete actions to move this city, this state and this nation forward, to a place that encourages, promotes and supports systemic change throughout police forces, the justice system and our communities as a whole. 

Our hearts are with George Floyd’s family, his loved ones, the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and our country. But sympathy without action is not enough, and the SHA pledges to do what it can to foster communication and to find ways to bring this wonderful community together to bring about lasting, positive change.
