Rockville, Md., April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — We are heartened by today\u2019s verdict finding Derek Chauvin guilty of murder in the death of George Floyd.<\/p>\n

This was an opportunity to forcefully defend the value of Black lives; to show\u2014not just say\u2014they matter, and here, justice was served.\u00a0 However, the trauma to Black and Brown communities at the hands of police continues unabated.<\/p>\n

Abt Associates stands with Black and Brown people\u2014and every person who feels marginalized\u2014to make our commitment to racial justice and equity a reality for all.\u00a0 This verdict means we have to work harder, and we will.\u00a0\u00a0 As we strive to become an antiracist organization, we\u2019ve put equity at the center of our work going forward, committed to more diverse hiring, created relevant personal and professional development programs, and focused our charitable giving and pro bono efforts on organizations serving minority communities.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

We can, and we must, change the system in which Black Americans are three times more likely than white Americans to be killed by police.\u00a0 The status quo cannot continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
