From SOHO’s Board of Directors to our Community:
SOHO fights for equality. Considering the current climate of social and racial injustice, it is essential to share our position on the Black Lives Matter movement. As an organization dedicated to supporting underserved girls, we cannot and will not idly stand by.
We stand together with all those who have experienced racism, social injustice, and inequality based solely on the color of their skin. We believe that Black Lives Matter and we are committed to being an active participant in change.
Our Board of Directors are contributing personal funds to reputable racial justice organizations. We are also facilitating discussions between our girls and mentors to provide a safe space in which they can ask questions and discuss their feelings.
Finally, we thank you for your support and partnership as we work to empower girls to transform their lives and communities.
With hope,
The SOHO Board of Directors
