We're still here, and although our rides are suspended for safe social distancing, we want to check in to let our friends and riders that are black, indigenous, and/or people of color (BIPOC):
We admins of Bicycle Betties are here as your friends and allies.
We stand with you, validate, and oppose the injustice, microaggressions, and blatant violence you regularly experience.
We commit to educate ourselves on anti-racism.
Thank you for your persistence.
Thank you for not giving up.
Thank you for protesting, whichever way you choose, and voicing your concerns.
We hear you.
We are grateful for you and your lives.
We commit to continue the work it takes to change the structural and systematic oppression that you experience.
You have our love, support, and can count on us to use our voices, privilege, skin tones, and this virtual space to advocate on your behalf.
If there are sides to take, we are on yours.
Above all, we choose love, understanding, empathy, kindness, and justice.
