The National Cartoonists Society: " Racism has no place in our organization or the world of cartooning."

Via The Daily Cartoonist:

 

The National Cartoonists Society has also made a statement regarding the situation:

The National Cartoonists Society condemns all forms of racism and discrimination.

We choose to support and celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion for all. While cartooning as an art form needs to embrace and support the right to free speech, when that speech turns to hate and the marginalization or degradation of other human beings because of their race, faith, sexual orientation, nationality or other conditions it is the responsibility of all conscientious people to condemn that speech for what it is.

 Racism has no place in our organization or the world of cartooning.
