<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(29,33,41);background:white">We have been deeply moved by the pain we are seeing and hearing all around us in recent days. In the most direct terms, Gotham stands firmly against racism and hate
and in support of respect, kindness, and inclusion. We also recognize our collective responsibility to do better. We must take concrete steps to combat systemic and institutionalized racism.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(29,33,41);background:white"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(29,33,41);background:white">Today we stand committed to conduct which promotes positive change. We stand with all of our members in understanding that we each need to look deeper into ourselves
and do more to recognize and eliminate racial injustice and bias against black and brown people. Words are not enough. We must figure out how to move forward. Gotham is a unique organization built on the strength of our relationships \u2013 personal and professional
\u2013 and we know that together we have a unique power to create a positive impact on this critical conversation.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
