In Solidarity with #BlackLivesMatter

Recent happenings have once again revealed the severity of systemic racism in the United States. CAPE expresses solidarity with Americans demanding justice and with the #BlackLivesMatter movement that has been tirelessly advocating for intersectional equality for many years.

To show support as an ally of the global anti-racist movement, we should also consider the issue of race in Singapore and how we can participate in discourse and action.
