Beirut Solidarity Statement

The GRCA mourns the loss and devastation of the explosion in Beirut on August 4th 2020. 

Our hearts are with all those who have felt the impact of this tragedy, and recognize that as the world continues to struggle with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, our siblings in Lebanon are now facing this immense loss and an economic crisis that has further threatened the health, safety, and well-being of their communities. 

As an organization committed to collective liberation, we also express our solidarity with protesters, activists, and revolutionaries who are demanding structural changes to create safety and security for Lebanese communities.
