International Corporate Accountability Roundtable issues statement in support of anti-racism protests in the United States

"ICAR Statement on Recent Anti-Racism Protests in the United States," 2 June 2020

We stand with all those who rise up to confront a system built on white supremacy…We are a corporate accountability organization, and so our weighing in on issues of police brutality may seem outside our lane, but the importance of ensuring that the public interest isn’t subsumed by abuses of power is core to what we do. And here, the abuses of power repeat with relative impunity.

…The International Corporate Accountability Roundtable stands with the families, protestors, and activists who are committed to bringing justice to a system that has denied it for so many. We will work to continue to ensure that policy is crafted by those most impacted and heed and amplify the voices of those too often ignored. We will continue our work to ensure protestors rights are secure, governmental officials are accountable, and powerful interests don’t dim democracy’s promise.
