BLACK LIVES MATTER
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
The team at Sozo Artists is devastated by the horrific public execution of George Floyd and widespread police brutality being inflicted upon the Black community—compounded by the wildly disproportionate attempts to crush the uprising of Black and allied voices demanding change with even more police brutality and abuse of American military power. We stand with and among protesters who are risking their lives twofold—against an invisible killer, and against those wielding the law as a weapon of righteousness.
As an all-female and predominantly AAPI team, we know that walking in our shoes and being an ally to who we are are two distinct but powerful & symbiotic roles. As such, we know that as allies of the Black community, our most potent position is to amplify those voices.
Our resolve is stronger than ever to wield the power of artistic expression within the sphere of social justice to educate, spark solution-oriented discourse and ideas, and empower our collective whole to imagine and create the future that the marginalized and diminished so deeply deserve. A core tenet of our mission has been, and continues to be, effecting change in society for the underserved and underseen. Below is a snapshot of our artists and projects, doing just that. We invite you to watch and share with your community.
Use your voice. Use your privilege. We are using ours.
