As the Penn State AAC community, we are deeply saddened by the recent events in Minneapolis. As Martin Luther King said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We can not and must not sit by silently. Such silence marks indifference – and we cannot remain indifferent. These issues affect our students, our faculty, and the individuals with complex communication needs and families that we serve. As a community, we are deeply committed to supporting justice, equality, acceptance, and inclusion of all people. Let’s all commit to making a positive difference by taking at least one concrete action to support equal treatment and justice for all people.
