Re: Embark Sustainability’s Statement on the Lapu-Lapu Day Tragedy

 

Embark Sustainability sends our deepest condolences and solidarity to the Filipino community following the tragedy at the Lapu-Lapu Day Festival.

We are devastated by the violence that shook what should have been a joyful celebration of culture, history, and community. Our hearts are with the families who are grieving, those who are healing, and everyone carrying the weight of this loss.

We stand with you in solidarity during this time of sorrow and we commit to standing with you in the work of care, justice, and collective action.
