Racism and discrimination have no place in our society, and Metro United Way joins others in calling for justice for reforms that will help prevent tragedies like Breonna Taylor’s from happening again. We envision Greater Louisville as a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, and we can only achieve this vision if we all, together, strive towards equity and denounce racism and violence.
