A Statement on TCR's Stand on Racism and Discrimination

The TCR community has dedicated its research and outreach to the examination of issues that give rise to consumer well-being or ill-being. Among these, we work on the issues of racial/ethnic, gender, socio-economic and other forms of consumer discrimination, and public policy as it pertains to the marketplace, as well as the intersection of these considerations and more. Given this orientation, it is most appropriate for us to show our support for and solidarity with protestors, currently on the streets of several major U.S. cities and beyond, as they rally against the social injustices routinely visited upon African Americans and people of color in other parts of the world.
