The verdict in the trial for the murder of George Floyd was a significant message of accountability, and a reminder of the work still to be done to address racist violence and systemic racism.

We are hopeful that this verdict helps us work through the long, ongoing process of healing. We also hope the country will realize meaningful policy changes and a more equitable and just future for all marginalized communities. We believe that addressing issues of violence and racism will require the level of intensity, scrutiny, intention and involvement that went into this trial. That work needs to be modeled and lived everywhere, including at Sellers Dorsey.

At Sellers Dorsey, we reaffirm our strong and unwavering stand against racist violence and systemic racism, and pledge to continue efforts to deepen our own awareness and empower all employees to act with empathy and respect.
