Dear Friends,
With the number of COVID-19 cases growing throughout the United States and the world, it is natural for us all to feel weighed down by the heavy implications of this virus. We know that this time is stressful for everyone. To support our team at E Pluribus Unum (EPU) and the communities in which we work, we have suspended all travel and public meetings until this crisis passes, but our staff continues to work from home.
This week, we announced the launch of UNUM Fellows, a signature initiative aimed at equipping local elected leaders in the South with resources, training and technical expertise to advance racial and economic equity in their communities. ve suspended all travel and public meetings until this crisis passes, but our staff continues to work from home.
First, let me begin by thanking you for your interest in E Pluribus Unum. The past 18 months have been some of the most rewarding of my career because of talking with folks like you who continue to inspire and challenge me to do more.
This can’t be America.
It was a common refrain in response to last year’s torch light rallies, protests and the subsequent murder of Heather Heyer by white supremacists in Charlottesville. High profile events have a tendency to shock the consciousness of our country.
