Here’s what Whatcom leaders, police are saying about racial injustice

Western Washington University President Sabah Randhawa, himself a Pakistani immigrant, discussed the “heavy burden” on every person of color in a statement Friday, May 30.

“I urge every member of our community to consider the ways systems of oppression and violence harm us and others, and to find ways to support and uphold members of our community who are suffering right now,” Randhawa said.. “While we are distant from each other, the simple act of checking in with friends and colleagues, of reaching out, is more important and more powerful than ever.”
