Statement From Pencils of Promise

Black Lives Matter
Pencils of Promise vows to stand up against injustice wherever it occurs, to examine ourselves individually and as an organization, to acknowledge our own complicity in perpetuating racism and to do the work to change ourselves and the world around us. Racism is systemic and will not be tolerated. Racism impacts education access, healthcare, and the livelihood of black communities.
We stand in solidarity with the black community around the globe.
