Solidarity Statement
The staff at Trident Literacy has been very disturbed by recent events that have galvanized the conversation on systemic racism. As an organization that serves many different people from many different backgrounds, cultures, races, creeds, and sexual orientations, we have always been and will always remain committed to treating all human beings with respect, equality and dignity. We express our solidarity with individuals who are engaged in the peaceful fight against racism and hatred in all its forms.
