About S3 Committee

---

 The formation of the Solidarity, Support and Solutions (S3) Committee of the MFN Advisory Board was prompted by the assaults communities of color experienced and continue to experience. Specifically, the disproportionate impact of COVID-19, the police attacks on Black communities across the country and the racist violence every day on Black, Indigenous and other people of color communities. 

 Oppression comes in multiple forms; and the environmental justice and climate justice work MFN member organizations do is deeply connected to the systemic racism that allows for police to brutalize communities of color and deny Black, Indigenous and other people of color communities adequate services and protections against COVID-19. This moment in time calls for more thoughtful action as we all work to protect our communities. As we continue to face these ongoing challenges, we do not seek to move back to the “normal” mode of operation.
