We stand in solidarity with the black community. We can only begin to understand the daily pain of our black peers, and we give our unwavering empathy and support. Institutional racism, inequity, and injustice are unacceptable.
For every racial tragedy that grips the nation, countless others go unnoticed. We recognize that words and action are always needed; not only following national incidents. Let us listen and learn to better understand these experiences so that we can elevate the discourse and contribute to reforms. These are our responsibilities.
The Yale Club of DC is committed to bringing attention to these issues through our programming, while fostering an inclusive community.

Join our virtual town hall as the eminent Bioethics scholar Prof. Robert Klitzman explores the multi-faceted intersection between Bioethics and Human Psychology, whether science is compelling enough to withstand the inconvenience of the truth, and how both the health professionals and the public can converge on the right path in the strife for wearing masks, social-distancing, self-quarantining, school opening, athletes' well-being, and caring for the elderly.
