Statement of Solidarity with Those Fighting to End Systemic Racial Oppression

We stand in solidarity with all who are angry, exhausted, and in pain over the 2020 murders of Ahmaud Arbery, shot while jogging in February; Breonna Taylor, shot in her home in March by Louisville police officers; and George Floyd, killed in May by a police officer in Minneapolis. While these murders and the continued murders since then affect us all, we know that for our black community members, the pain and trauma are especially deep.

We have long known that the San Francisco improv community, Un-Scripted included, is not representative of the diversity of the Bay Area. Stories are missing from our stage that are crying out to be told. We are committed to re-doubling our efforts to include more voices in our theater.

We are an organization that is dedicated to hearing feedback, even if it challenges us. We invite our community to let us know where we have fallen short, and how we can do better.

The improv stage must be actively anti-racist. From classes to performances, improv in particular must actively quash white patriarchal hetronormative micro/macro aggression at every level of the training process.

We know a lot of you are looking for ways to step up. If you are looking for organizations working for justice for the BIPOC community, we recommend a few below.

We stand together with all those fighting to end systemic racial oppression.
