WAIS Position Statement (June 4, 2020) As an organization of physicians dedicated to caring for our fellow humans, WAIS recognizes and denounces the racism, prejudice and discrimination that plague our society. The murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many others are egregious examples of the daily aggressions that hurt, humiliate and undermine Black members of our community. This must end now. We refuse to discriminate based on race, gender, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation, religion, or ideology. Diversity not only enriches our community but is essential for our survival and advancement. Please join us in defending our common humanity. Most sincerely, WAIS 2020 Executive Board |
