Volcker Alliance Statement on Racial Injustice
We must find solutions to the systemic racism and deep-rooted inequities embedded in our society. During these chaotic and painful times, we must together find ways to ensure that government is responsive and delivers results for all people—fairly, equitably, and without bias or prejudice.

“One cannot sit here in 2018 without a strong sense of concern about the future of this country, and more particularly the state of public service. Distrust and ill-will permeate attitudes toward government. Too many of the best in the assailed bureaucracy, both in Congress and in key administrative posts, have left too soon, doubting that their voices could be heard or that their goals could be achieved. That needs to change. And it won’t be easy. As a signal of my concern, I decided to establish a foundation with a mission impossible: Can we stimulate others—particularly schools of public policy, of management, of administration—to rethink how government can and should respond to the needs of the twenty-first century?”
