Statement of Support and Call to Action About the Movement for Black Lives

Our organization is rooted in values of justice and equality, and we wholly condemn the systemic racism that oppresses and threatens people of color, particularly Black Americans who are disproportionately impacted by police brutality across our country. We stand with protesters peacefully demanding change and accountability and will continue to look for ways to support them. Innovation Ohio is committed to doing our part to fight for anti-racist policies to make Ohio safe and equitable for all who live here, regardless of the color of their skin. While we continue to advocate for and help to formulate anti-racist policies to bring an end to injustice, one concrete action you can take right now is to donate to your local freedom fund to bail out protestors who were arrested during the demonstrations in Ohio. Black Lives Matter.
