Black Lives Matter

The heroes of America – from Fredrick Douglass to Harriet Tubman, to Abraham Lincoln, to Martin Luther King Jr – are heroes of unity. They often revealed the nation’s disturbing bigotry and exploitation – stains on our character sometimes difficult for the American majority to examine. We can only see the reality of America’s need by seeing it through the eyes of the threatened, oppressed, and disenfranchised.” – Former President George W. Bush.

We at PLUS Group Homes are deeply saddened and angry about the racial injustice that continues to exist in our community and the senseless death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. The systematic racism that pervades in our society subjecting people to discrimination, police brutality, and other unspeakable horrors because of the color of their skin, cannot be allowed to continue.

We stand with our colleagues, our partners and every member of our community in speaking out against racism and speaking up for a world that is more inclusive and empathetic – where all people are respected, protected and valued.
