This morning, upon opening our Morrison Family YMCA, we were deeply disheartened to find that our property had been vandalized with hate speech and symbols. We immediately notified law enforcement, and our team is working diligently to remove the graffiti as quickly as possible. We are also grateful to the National Jewish Federation for offering their support during this time.

 

We are committed to restoring our space and ensuring that our center remains a welcoming and safe environment for everyone. Any remaining vandalism that cannot be addressed today will be resolved promptly.

 

Hate speech and symbols of intolerance have no place in our society, and certainly not at our YMCA. We stand firm in our mission to foster inclusivity and unity. If you have any information regarding this incident, please contact the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD).

 

Thank you for your continued support as we work through this together.
