Big Sky Wind Drinkers Statement of Unity<\/h3>\n
\n

This has been a tragic and difficult time as we have witnessed the\u00a0recent killings of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Rayshard Brooks.\u00a0The Big Sky Wind Drinkers believe that Black Lives Matter. BSWD stands in support of those who are engaged in protesting these incidents across our country, and we hope that\u00a0significant\u00a0social changes\u00a0are forthcoming and\u00a0will increase justice,\u00a0opportunity, and\u00a0equality for all in our society.<\/p>\n

BSWD wants to emphasize that our club welcomes all races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations to join our runs and races. We strive to create an atmosphere where running unites us all, regardless of background.
\n
\n<\/span>We understand that we are responsible for creating a running community that reflects our values, and that we have not always done so. Like many of you, we are taking this time to listen, to learn, and to evaluate how we can do better. We will be looking at the entirety of how our club operates to determine how we can create a more inclusive, welcoming, equitable running club.<\/p>\n

In a recent\u00a0Runner\u2019s World article<\/a>\u00a0Olympic 10k runner Marielle Hall wrote \u201cIf we want our running community to be a force for change, and not a reflection of the biases that our nation endures, we have to be willing to consistently have a sustained conversation that will effect change and is capable of asking questions without immediate answers or solutions.\u201d\u00a0BSWD is committed to engaging in\u00a0those conversations among its leadership, and we\u00a0look forward to having a more positive impact on the future.
