Venable has a long history of opposing racism, promoting diversity and inclusion, and supporting others who share these values. We condemn the rise in violence, verbal attacks, and intolerance against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in recent weeks and since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Tackling these challenges is not a one-time event and requires ongoing and collective efforts. We call on everyone to redouble our resolve and efforts to achieve meaningful and positive change in our society.
