Help Piti Plan a New Center Dedicated to Ecology and the Arts

Statement of Solidarity

Piti Theatre Company stands in solidarity with protesters around the world demanding systemic change in the wake of the murder of George Floyd while in police custody and the murder of many other black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) in their homes and communities over the last years, decades, and centuries. In the wake of the murder of eight people, six of them Asian-Americans and all but one of them women in Atlanta on March 16, 2021 we invite you to take action here: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/call-for-a-community-centered-response-to-violence-against-aapi-communities

As a white led small theatre company in a predominantly white county of Western Massachusetts, we commit and recommit to anti-racism work within our organization and within the communities we serve. While we feel we have made some progress in the right direction, we also understand we have much more work to do.

As an arts organization historically committed to environmental justice in terms of the content of our performances, we are acutely aware that this work begs the question, "environmental justice for who?" It is not possible to effectively address environmental degradation without simultaneously working to dismantle systemic racism and the ways in which environmental harm and the public health impacts which follow are disproportionately transferred to low income and communities of color.
