Make time to unlearn & learn anew
Where to begin? The time for silence has passed, and the focus is on immediate change. As a company, it is not our place to centre ourselves in the discussion, but we do believe that we can do our part by amplifying Black voices and helping others reach pertinent information. We have put together a list of resources for updates on the Black Lives Matter movement, knowledge to gain, non-profit organizations to support and petitions to sign.
