Statement on Inclusion

Our global societies are overdue for equality between genders, races, cultures and wealth disparaties. Black Lives Matter. We acknowledge territorial land of native people, in paticular where we reside, namely that of the Dakota people. Compassion and inclusion for all is an imperative in today's world.
