Black Lives Matter

6/3/2020

0 Comments

 
HOOLIGAN Theatre Company unequivocally denounces all acts of racism, hate, and violence. We stand in solidarity with the demands of the Afrikan Student Union and the resolution passed by USAC addressing anti-blackness and police violence, and we denounce the use of the Jackie Robinson Stadium parking lot to hold protesters. We stand in solidarity with the Black community speaking out against the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and all the other lives lost to police brutality. Black lives have been undermined, undervalued, and underrepresented both in our country and on the stage. The systems of our country have been created unequally and at the expense of Black lives. 
Picture
As we navigate this issue as a company, it is important that we check our privilege, acknowledge our role in perpetuating predominantly white spaces, and recognize the systems of inequality that organizations like ours have been complicit in. It is imperative that we support the Black members in our community and our organization. Words have power, but actions create change. As an organization we will hold ourselves accountable for our inaction in the past and for our actions in the future. We have to do better. We will do better. We will spend this time reflecting inward and creating a plan of action to see how we, as a company, can better support and amplify Black voices on stage and within our UCLA community. ​
In solidarity,  
The Senior Staff Members of HOOLIGAN Theatre Company
