RACIAL EQUITY STATEMENT

Lyrical Opposition is committed to intentionally building up the BIPOC community, as well as the dismantling of white supremacy and the heteropatriarchy. Cultural biases and systemic racism exist and we stand against the forces that keep them the status quo. We are committed to active partnership with communities of color and continue to establish programming that intentionally serves BIPOC communities.

We want to see New people doing something. New churches doing something. New convictions. New voices. New awareness. New words. New actions. New perspectives. We’re in observation mode as the world around us and afar awaken. What’s not new is Black lives mattering. What’s not new is the fragility of Black lives. What’s not new is traumatizing/triggering conversations, pictures, and videos. What’s not new is opposition. What’s not new is being overwhelmed from the injustice and deaths. What’s not new is living life while fighting against injustice.
