Statement on Antiracism

The prior year’s historically large and sustained calls for racial justice and equity have sprung up throughout the United States and across the globe. We believe this represents a defining moment in our nation, as the promise of freedom and equality are put to a higher test. The legacy of prejudice and racial violence—the cause of untold physical and psychological harm—must end. Seattle Psychology stands with those who oppose oppression and injustice and against any and all forms of racism or discrimination. We are determined to be anti-racist in our professional responsibilities, to provide clinical services that address the varied harms caused by racism and discrimination, and to add our voices to the larger call for systemic and fundamental change. We welcome feedback from our partners and community members that will help us fulfill our commitment to this larger effort.
