All people have the right to live healthy, socially and economically productive lives. In the quest to achieve this right, there is no room for institutional, personally mediated or internalized racism – only space for equity so everyone has what they need.

RIHEL stands for equity for Black people who for far too long have suffered injustice, indignity, torture, pain and death due to racism. A legacy of hate has earned the rage and anger we are suffering. We support peaceful protesters everywhere who work to end oppression. We cannot change the past but we can change the future. God willing – and through our hands and hearts – we will never go back. We can only thrive if we move forward together.
