At Eastern Acupuncture And Wellness we believe we all have to take a stance for what is right and against what is wrong.
Staying silent equates to consent and we do not consent to racism, racial injustice nor police brutality.
As medical care providers we took the hippocratic oath to do no harm and by staying silent we would be doing exactly that.
We are committed to our Black and brown team members, guests, partners, communities, and anyone affected by constant, pervasive racism and inequality.
We stand with you. We support you. We are here for you.
We must treat each other with respect, kindness and compassion.
We know this is just the tip of the iceberg, and a simple statement isn’t enough.
We commit to listening.
We commit to learning.
We commit to changing.
We commit to getting more involved.
We reaffirm our commitment to combat racism and discrimination not only within our company but within our greater communities and the world.
Black Lives Matter.
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate. And if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the heart than its opposite.”
-Nelson Mandela
