We demand the USPA support lifters in the federation that no longer feel safe because of their identities as they pertain to race, class, religion, and sexual orientation. 

We demand the USPA take a definitive stance against racism and work with POC (particularly Black Americans) with in the federation to come up with real actionable solutions to create inclusive spaces for POC in the sport of powerlifting. 

We demand that the USPA values its current paying members of color, hold those accused of hateful behavior accountable, and work on encouraging a more diverse and inclusive environment.

We demand the USPA takes a stand against hate and bigotry.  The USPA should be a leader on this topic instead of falling behind and standing on the sidelines in silence.
