Statement of Solidarity

Montbello Barbers grieve with the families and friends of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many thousands of other Black Americans and far too many of our own Montbello neighbors who have died from violent acts -- many perpetrated by brutal law enforcement institutions.  

Acts of violence perpetrated on Black men and women who are merely going about their daily lives – working, playing, and taking care of their families and homes are deplorable.  The past several months have underscored the impact of centuries of structural racism. Together we must stand up, speak out, organize, protest, lobby, pass laws, elect officials with a moral compass – whatever it takes to dismantle the systems, structures and policies that sustain and feed racism.  In order to accomplish this long overdue and monumental societal change we must each dig deep within ourselves to act with courage, commitment, persistence, and love.

The Montbello Barbers LLC stand in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters and with all those who protest in the hope of living under the equality, equity and opportunity afforded by the Constitution of the United States of America.  

No lives matter until Black Lives Matter!
