In lieu of a “normal Monday”, and in response to the events currently unfolding across the United State, MIIM Designs has recognized that business cannot continue as usual and we have made the decision to pause and stand in solidarity with all those demanding justices. The murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis was the latest in a long line of brutal acts. The betrayal of promises of our aspirations and the broken principal values of our society a has underscored a culture of systemic racism, hate and disenfranchisement.
While MIIM Design’s founding mission, Design Communities and Create Culture, emphasized civic dialogue and activism in architecture and design, we know that there is inherent privilege embedded in whose voices are heard. We ask you, if it is possible to join us, so that we can stand humbly in solidarity, sadness, anger and hope with our fellow black communities, and to recommit to elevating the crucial narratives of those who are hurting the most, in both our words and actions.
With Justice, Equality, Health and Safety,
The MIIM Team
