Black Lives Matter

Posted in: Blog

We unequivocally condemn the racism and police violence against Black and Brown people in our society. George Floyd was murdered. Ahmaud Arbery was murdered. Breonna Taylor was murdered. These are not isolated incidents, but part of a system of white privilege, structural racism, police violence, and inequality in our country. This system must be radically reformed. We stand in solidarity with the Black community against racism and hate. Black Lives Matter.

And we stand with the change-making nonprofit organizations that are working on the front lines to remedy the damage caused by that system, and to fix what’s broken. We are committed to investing in the work that fosters true systemic social progress. As a social venture working for nonprofits, we support the changemakers and activists who are creating progress. We continue to focus on diversity within our company so that we better reflect the communities we serve. And we want to do more. We are eager to apply our expertise and time for pro bono projects. Please contact us so we can explore how we can work together for justice and equality.
