National Pharmacy Organizations Unite to Take a Stand Against Racial Injustice

The recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and too many others have ignited strong emotions and continue to shed a glaring light on the day-to-day experiences of Black Americans. As pharmacists, we took an oath that includes, as its first statement, "I will consider the welfare of humanity and relief of suffering my primary concerns." Humanity includes all people, and we have the responsibility in this country to care for those who are disproportionately suffering. The time is now to engage in intentional dialogue and action.
