We are listening

June 09,2020

In response to the protests for racial justice taking place across the country (and even across the world), we’ve decided to pause our usual content and make space to show our unequivocal support for the Black community. 

We’ve been taking a lot of time individually and as a team to listen, educate ourselves, reflect, feel, and – most importantly – make concrete plans of action. 

As a company, here are some of the next steps we have decided on:⁠

Most importantly: we’re committed to continuing to do the work of anti-racism long beyond the present moment. 

We’re a tiny company, but we’re proud of our representation. Jenny, Xander and I are biracial, and the majority of our contractors are people of color. But we also recognize that representation is not the only thing that matters here. 

We are committed to continuing to educate ourselves, listen harder, and become better allies.⁠

We’re not looking for any sort of recognition by sharing our next steps. Honestly, it feels like the bare minimum that we could do.

We just wanted to let you know that we are listening, and we are serious about taking action. 

And we encourage you to do the same.
