We need to address racism in ourselves and in our teams and leagues. Don't juke around it. Break through the wall. It's a harder path and can be really uncomfortable at times, but we can come out stronger on the other side. Do the work.

For the next 4 weeks, we are going to be providing anti-racism reading and action items. We encourage you to work with a small group to discuss and check-in. Each resource will be linked in our bio. Today is about the history of policing in the US.

DMRD stands firmly with the LGBTQIA+ community. We are absolutely sickened by the campaign to erase protections against discrimination for transgender Americans seeking healthcare.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

Des Moines Roller Derby stands with Minneapolis. We stand with BLM. We stand with everyone who is fighting for justice. For an end to systemic racism. For their voice. For their rights. For their breath.

We see you, and we stand with you.

Should roller derby be an Olympic sport? Go pro? What does the return to play plan look like and when can we start playing roller derby again?
