RE:
Demonstration of Solidarity Today at 3 pm
Mount Sinai Health System stands firmly for diversity, inclusion, and empathy, and against all forms of bias, discrimination, and hatred. Our faculty, staff, students, and patients include people of all backgrounds, races, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and more. We are proud of that.

In these times, it is important to be as clear as possible in expressing and demonstrating our values. Which is why today, we unequivocally state: Black Lives Matter.

For far too long, minorities, particularly African Americans, in this country have been persecuted, abused, and killed for no reason other than the color of their skin. That is why these recent protests are happening. And that is why we stand in solidarity with these protests.

So today, at 3 pm, we will show support for our community; support for our Black colleagues, family, friends, and neighbors; and support for those who are peacefully protesting the killing of George Floyd, and so many others before him.

If your patient care duties permit, please join us outside each of our hospitals. At 3:05 pm, we will begin nine minutes of silence, representing how long Mr. Floyd was unable to breathe. Please follow proper masking and social distancing rules during this event.

All of us must together say: Enough is enough. Discrimination is like dust in the air; it is always present, but you don’t notice how prevalent it is until you shine a light on it. It is time we do our part to shine the light.

Touch of class that. Well done to them.
