As an organization, we have a lot of work to do and have started our path forward in learning and understanding systemic racism. As we are learning and evaluating our own systems, we'll be making changes that align with what we value most, people.
We’re working to become an anti-racist organization and believe our team members’ differences in color, ethnicity, and race—while recognizing that everyone lives at the intersections of many other identities including age, disability, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics—make our team members unique. We need everything to line up with that belief.
As we move forward and as our own awareness as individuals and as a company grows, some changes will come swiftly, while others may take a bit more time. This isn’t an obligatory post, but rather the start of a sustained internal commitment to making the progress needed to help eradicate systemic racism.
