Newark Earthworks Center Solidarity & Action

The acts of terrorism rooted in racism that took the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and many other Black Americans recently are a continuation of a tragic but all too familiar reality. We at the Newark Earthworks Center celebrate life and achievement. We have a human responsibility to call out racism, hatred, and injustice. American Indian peoples have long suffered these things. We ally ourselves with other peoples and groups with similar histories and struggles.

The call for justice being led by Black communities is happening now. As the Newark Earthworks Center, and a representative of the lives and achievements of indigenous peoples past, present and future, we feel the sorrow and justified anger of our Black relatives. Centuries of violence inflicted on Black, Indigenous, and Brown bodies through acts of police violence have led us to our current crossroads.

It is our choice what we do in this moment. We believe we must rise together for our collective liberation. We must create space for one another during this moment, to heal our collective pain, and to acknowledge the anger and dehumanization many are experiencing as we try to envision a better future for the next seven generations. Real healing takes real reform. To all things there is a season. The time for change is now.
