As a white-led organization, we are complicit in systemic racism and anti-Blackness. However, it is not enough to simply acknowledge this fact if we want a truly just and more equitable world. We must strive to be an accomplice dedicated to continued education and unyielding anti-racist work. We call on our fellow white and non-Black POC accomplices to join us in taking immediate action. This work will be ongoing and never ends.

We are taking these immediate actions:

  • We are in the process of entering into a contract with an intersectional equity consultant for organization-wide training.
  • We currently require anti-racist learning as part of the on-boarding process for white staff and board members; however, the work does not stop there. We are creating a white learning group for company members who will commit to ongoing action and accountability.
  • In support of the protests, we are donating to the bail fund.
