Statement of Solidarity

June 8, 2020

Dear Horizons Families, 

During this time of turmoil and resistance, Horizons at Westminster would like to share the statement of solidarity put forth by Horizons National:

Horizons National Response


Horizons National stands in solidarity with people of color throughout our communities and across the country.
Horizons is committed to ensuring all children have the opportunity to thrive and learn. Eliminating inequities in education has been central to our work for over 50 years, and recent events remind us why this work is so important: systems that perpetuate, tolerate, or indulge racial injustice have devastating effects on our society and must be transformed.

We understand the communities we serve are disproportionately affected and harmed by violence and racial oppression. While the events we have seen in the last several weeks are heartbreaking, they are not new or isolated. Now and always, we stand with our entire Horizons community. We stand with our students and families. We stand with our staff and volunteers. We are united in our efforts to create an equitable world for our young people.

This moment makes our work together even more urgent – to build a society where every individual can experience the joy of learning, build skills for success, and have the inspiration to realize their dreams.

In solidarity,

Kathleen Devaney, Executive Director

Estimadas familias de Horizons,

Durante esta época de confusion y resistencia, Horizons de Westminster quisiera compartir con nuestras familias la declaración de la solidaridad de parte de Horizons National:

Respuesta de Horizons National

Horizons National se solidariza con las personas de color de nuestras comunidades y en todo el país. Horizons se compromete a garantizar que todos los niños tengan la oportunidad de prosperar y aprender. La eliminación de las desigualdades en la educación ha sido fundamental para nuestro trabajo durante más de 50 años, y los eventos recientes nos recuerdan por qué este trabajo es tan importante: los sistemas que perpetúan, toleran o complacen la injusticia racial tienen efectos devastadores en nuestra sociedad y deben ser transformados. Entendemos que las comunidades a las que servimos se ven desproporcionadamente afectadas y perjudicadas por la violencia y la opresión racial. Si bien los eventos que hemos visto en las últimas semanas son desgarradores, no son nuevos ni están aislados.

Ahora y siempre:
  • Estamos con toda nuestra comunidad de Horizons.
  • Estamos con nuestros estudiantes y familias.
  • Estamos con nuestro personal y voluntarios.
  • Estamos unidos en nuestros esfuerzos por crear un mundo equitativo para nuestros jóvenes.

Este momento hace que nuestro trabajo juntos sea aún más urgente: construir una sociedad donde cada individuo pueda experimentar la alegría de aprender, desarrollar habilidades para el éxito y tener la inspiración para realizar sus sueños.


Atentamente,

Kathleen Devaney, Director Ejecutiva
