As members of the Engineers’ Forum at Virginia Tech, we strive to connect our community through our writing. We also wish to use our platform to write and speak against injustice and to stand in solidarity with those who have been affected during these times.

Only by taking actions may we come to change society. Make change by signing petitions, donating to organizations, and starting conversations with each other about what is happening in our country. We must use our voices to speak up and our actions to make changes.

Please take time to educate yourself by finding organizations, fundraisers, and petitions to contribute to. Take initiative to learn and understand. We stand with those in support of social equity and racial justice.
