We Cannot Be Silent

We've been deeply angered and saddened by the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many more. We’ve come to understand that to be silent about police brutality, violence, and threats to the lives and well-being of Black people is to be complicit in that brutality. It is clearer than ever that systemic and institutionalized racism are the defining social justice issues of our time.

We're currently focusing on ways we can act to create meaningful, lasting change. We plan to:

• Donate at least $2500 to charities and organizations fighting racism, including the American Civil Liberties Union, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and Equal Justice Initiative
• Increase our purchases from & partnerships with Black-owned businesses

We are committed to fighting for justice for Black Americans. There is much to do, and we must start now. All lives will not matter until Black Lives Matter.
