The American Cancer Society is saddened and distressed by the violence targeted at unarmed black and brown Americans that has caused civil unrest in our nation. As an organization deeply committed to addressing health disparities, we recognize that health equity cannot be fully achieved without equity in all aspects of American life. We join community leaders across the country in calling for open and thoughtful dialogue about how we address systemic injustices and move forward to a more equitable and just society.
