Senate President Spilka on Honoring the Memories of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery

I recognize that being angry and heartbroken is not enough. We must listen, support, and amplify the voices of communities of color. I am committed to doing the work to make myself a better ally and fighter for racial justice in the Commonwealth.

I want to thank my fellow colleagues in the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus and other elected leaders of color for hosting yesterday’s powerful event and for creating a space and opportunity to listen and reflect on how we can do better.

I encourage everyone to join me. And as we work towards advancing actionable solutions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office.

Senate President Karen Spilka joined elected leaders of color on Tuesday for a press conference honoring and demanding justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.
