LYRASIS

We at LYRASIS share the grief, pain and anger over the recent murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Tony McDade, Tamir Rice, Breonna Taylor and all those who have been victims of racist attacks in the United States. This cannot continue, and we condemn these violent actions and racism in all its forms. LYRASIS is committed to doing our part to effect change wherever it is possible. As a nonprofit organization we have a duty not only to our Black employees, but also to our members and the community to speak up. Black Lives Matter.

Robert Miller, LYRASIS CEO
