to be so publicly concerned w/protecting their respective images and branding in a way that makes it seem the orgs care more about those issues than the issues that drive the protests. especially since the orgs are dedicated in part to community service and fostering leadership and sisterhood.

IMO it's a better look for the orgs to take a strong position in support of the protests or at least in support of the effort to correct the issues that drive the protests and to encourage members to express themselves peacefully. but really all the concern about violence feels outdated as there have been so many peaceful protests and concern about violence now feels like it's driven by ugly stereotypes about black ppl, generally.

considering the orgs are dedicated to promoting leadership they should encourage their members to lead by example - to protest peacefully wearing the letters.
