蒙特罗斯中心的使命是赋予和提升 LGBTQ+ 社区的所有成员。40多年来，我们多元化的员工为我们社区中最脆弱的成员提供服务，通常是在其他人无法做到的时候。在有色人种的身心健康、警察暴力、亲密伴侣虐待和各种形式的歧视面临更大风险的文化中，我们支持并肩作战，打击公开和隐蔽的种族主义。我们认识到，有色人种，尤其是跨性别黑人女性，更有可能首当其冲地受到白人至上主义的有毒制度和警察暴行模式的影响，在这一刻，我们必须与我们的黑人社区成员团结一致。

今天，我们通过加入 300 多个国家和州范围内的 LGBTQ+ 组织，致力于打击种族暴力并公开反对系统性种族主义，从而保持赋予 LGBTQ+ 社区权力的使命。

“如果你在不公正的情况下保持中立，你就选择了压迫者的一边。”德斯蒙德图图大主教 30 多年前写下的这些话提醒我们，冷漠永远无法弥合仇恨的鸿沟。而且，今天，它们应该成为我们所有人以及 LGBTQ 平等运动的行动号召。

今年春天是一个鲜明而刺痛的提醒，种族主义及其战略目标白人至上与我们声称拥有民主的那些理想——正义、平等、自由——一样，都是美国经历的一个特征。

• 我们听到了乔治·弗洛伊德 (George Floyd) 为人类最基本的需求发出的令人难以忘怀的恳求，呼吸——明尼阿波利斯的一名警官冷漠地跪在他的脖子上。
• 在便衣路易斯维尔警察踢开他们家的门并在她睡在床上时向她开了八枪后，我们感受到了 Breonna Taylor 男友拨打 9-1-1 时的痛苦。
• 我们在佐治亚州不伦瑞克目睹了白人义警枪杀 Ahmaud Arbery，意识到他们逃避了他们行为的后果，直到视频浮出水面并引发了全国的愤怒。
• 我们看到一名白人妇女将种族武器化，她在向在中央公园观鸟的黑人同性恋男子克里斯蒂安库珀报警时表现出恐惧。
• 我们听说过和读到过杀害跨性别者——尤其是黑人跨性别女性——的事件如此频繁，可以毫不夸张地将其描述为一种暴力流行病。仅今年一年，我们就失去了至少 12 名社区成员：Dustin Parker、Neulisa Luciano Ruiz、Yampi Méndez Arocho、Monika Diamond、Lexi、Johanna Metzger、Serena Angelique Velázquez Ramos、Layla Pelaez Sánchez、Penélope Díaz Ramírez、Nina Pop、 Helle Jae O'Regan 和 Tony McDade。

所有这些事件都清楚地提醒我们，为什么当仇恨、暴力和系统性种族主义声称黑人的生命不受惩罚时我们必须大声疾呼。

LGBTQ 运动的工作在扩大 LGBTQ 人群的公民权利方面取得了重大胜利。但是，如果没有享受公民权利的自由，公民权利有什么好处呢？

我们的许多组织在采用交叉性作为核心价值方面取得了进展，并致力于更加多样化、公平和包容。但这一刻需要我们走得更远——我们做出明确的承诺来支持反种族主义和结束白人至上主义，这不是我们使命的必要推论，而是 LGBTQ 人群完全平等目标的组成部分。

我们，签名者，认识到我们不能保持中立，意识也不能代替行动。 LGBTQ 社区知道抵制警察暴行和暴力的工作。我们将 6 月庆祝为“骄傲月”，因为它在某种程度上是为了纪念我们在纽约市石墙镇以及早些时候在加利福尼亚州抵制警察的骚扰和暴行，当时这种暴力行为很普遍并且在意料之中。我们记得这是一个突破性的时刻，我们拒绝接受屈辱和恐惧作为充实、自由和真实生活的代价。

我们理解奋起反抗一种文化，这种文化告诉我们我们不如人，我们的生活无关紧要，这意味着什么。今天，我们再次聚在一起说#BlackLivesMatter并承诺采取这些话所要求的行动。
