GCAC Response to Black Lives Matter

The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center has always believed that there is no room for racism, hate, or xenophobia in the arts or anywhere else in our community, our city, our state, our country, or in our world. Since our founding in 1980, we have given voice to the unheard, have been a space for those who have been kept out, and have celebrated the differences of those whose differences have been disparaged. 

We firmly believe that all of our communities are worthy of love, respect, and justice, and because of this, we stand hand-in-hand with our Black sisters and brothers in their long and historic struggle for equality and justice. 

We express our deepest sympathies and stand in solidarity with the family and friends of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and countless others, and with them, we cling to the hope that their memory guides us to a more perfect union.
