Café UTEC

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms at UTEC, on our staff, and in #2Gen! We appreciate all the #maddlove you show! 💐🧡

Next Saturday: Lowell March/Rally to #StopAsianHate Join the movement to stand together in solidarity against all kinds of hatred towards Asians in our community and around the world. Hosted by EA.ST.MOVEMENT and supported by UTEC, @CMAALowell, & @DEILowell

We will continue to work to create a system that will #assumegoodness of our black and brown neighbors to create a safe, just community. #ViolenceIsNotNormal

George Floyd also deserved fair representation in court, rather than the presumption of guilt and threat that left him dead. Many others have also been stripped of that same right since his tragic death.

In our own small role, we will continue to organize for a more just system through updates to expungement legislation and ensuring young adults are given fair treatment and multiple chances throughout the justice system.

Derek Chauvin has been found guilty of the murder of George Floyd. We are relieved to see accountability for injustice and hope this becomes more of the rule rather than the exception.

We grieve another young life tragically lost to gun violence and police brutality. Arrest warrants should not be death sentences. Sending madd love to Daunte Wright's family and everyone feeling the pain of injustice. Black Lives Matter.

Tonight, @CMAALowell and @DEILowell will host a candlelight vigil to honor the lives that were lost in Atlanta, and most recent violence towards the #AAPI community.

The UTEC Family stands in solidarity with our Asian neighbors, who are such a huge part of our community and have been close partners in our work together since UTEC’s founding. #ViolenceIsNotNormal, and we especially condemn gun violence motivated by hate and racism.

Happy New Year from our family to yours! 🧡💥
