We stand with other communities and organizations to condemn racism and those practices that run counter to ASPB’s mission of promoting and sustaining equity, diversity, and inclusion.

We must all work diligently and tirelessly toward dismantling the structures and practices on which systemic biases are built, whether within ASPB’s own governance and operations, our respective workplaces, or wherever else we encounter racism and its impacts.

We invite your input below on how ASPB may effect positive change in its efforts to support equity, diversity, and inclusion in the plant sciences and to address systemic racism within our own community. If you prefer, you can also email us at info@aspb.org.
