From all of us at the Irish Theatre of Chicago:
The Irish Theatre of Chicago stands in solidarity with the demand for justice and lasting change in our society. The killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many more are senseless, institutional, brutal, and despicable. We raise our voices and add our passion to the local and nationwide peaceful protest against systemic racism in our country and we stand with all who call for justice and profound change to a system that so dehumanizes community, devalues human liberty, and destroys human lives. We stand with our Black colleagues, our friends, our fellow citizens, the community at large, to demand that this systemic violence against Black people must end now, and that justice must finally and fully prevail.
We are all storytellers. We are now all called to take our part and stand for change. The heart and soul of our community and the nation itself rests on that change, the change that will begin to unwind, undo and ultimately bury the moral evil of systemic racism that is plaguing our nation.
Steadfast in solidarity,
The Irish Theatre of Chicago
