×The Virginia Music Educators Association stands with our Black educators, students, and communities. We are saddened and disappointed by the continued injustice and violence toward Black people in our country. We condemn racism, prejudice, discrimination, and oppression. VMEA is committed to addressing bias and having courageous conversations that will work to actively dismantle racist and inequitable practices and hold each other accountable. We want to ensure that Music Education in Virginia is inclusive and accessible to all. We invite our music community to join us in celebrating our diversity, embracing inclusion, and ensuring equity for all. Music belongs to everyone.
