MAFA Statement on Racial Justice

The MidAtlantic Fiber Association condemns racism, oppression, and discrimination targeted against people of color and other marginalized groups. We as an organization condemn injustice that has been present throughout American history in ways affecting every aspect of life. 

The Board had made a commitment to engage in dialogue with member guilds around diversity and inclusiveness. Although temporarily delayed by the need to respond to the impact of the pandemic, the recent tragic events clearly demonstrate the importance of taking up that dialogue. 

We can all become more aware of how racism manifests in America every day. We urge all persons of good will to begin the task of educating ourselves. To that end, one of our members, Wendy Roberts, has assembled a list of resources. Download it here.
