To the Wellesley College community,

As the members of (BC)^2, we do not stand for the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, or the countless other lives lost at the hands of police brutality. We stand firmly alongside the Black community at Wellesley and beyond to condemn the systemic racism that underlies our judicial system. We call upon ourselves and the greater Wellesley community to take action against the injustices that continue to occur against Black people, through committing to advocate for the rights and safety of Black people, educating ourselves and others on true allyship, and donating to organizations that support the Black Lives Matter movement.

As part of this commitment, we would like to offer our services in exchange for proof of donation to any organization that supports efforts towards ending police brutality or makes reparations to those who have been affected. As a group that consists of Biology, Biochemistry, and pre-med students, we are willing to help you in any way you see fit, such as major/schedule advising, pre-med counselling, resume/application revisions, finding remote summer opportunities, etc. Please feel free to submit donation receipts and service requests here: https://forms.gle/ewnwbcRJK1KvFJ2E7 or reach out directly through our social media platforms, or email.
