The recent homicide of George Floyd has been a horrifying example of racist behaviors in our society and the racist underpinnings of our culture.  It is a sobering reminder--and a sad one-- to think that for many of us, it takes a public shock like this to wake us up from the complacency of our daily lives that everything is just fine for everyone.  It isn’t.  And there is more that we can and should do, indeed, must do.  For the poor, people of color, and marginalized groups of people everywhere, this type of event is all too common.  
 
The Community Health Center of Franklin County stands in solidarity with everyone--including those who experience the direct and indirect effects of violence, stress, physical and mental abuse on their health and well-being.  We stand in solidarity with people on the receiving end of racism and discrimination because of the color of their skin, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, income level or insurance status.  We stand in solidarity with our staff and with our community.  We cannot pretend to be the light if we hold the other in darkness.  It just doesn’t work.
 
Community health centers evolved from seeds sown sixty years ago to combat health inequities, and this health center remains firmly committed to that goal today both for our staff and our community.  We take very seriously access for everyone to quality healthcare and that includes access to housing, healthy food, public safety, education, and credit markets.  We also understand that we are all victims-- of a certain sort--when we tolerate and are complicit in a society that separates self from others, victim from perpetrator, humans from their environment.  It has to stop.
 
I think that one silver lining of an event like this is that we are given pause to consider our own moral compass and ethical principles.  We ask ourselves, 'what do we think?'  What can we do to make this a better world for everyone?  What are we willing to put ourselves on the line for?  Our selves?  Our families?  The homeless person?  The person who doesn't look or act like us or subscribe to the same beliefs?  Something to think about.
