We are committing to be an active ally in the quest to dismantle systemic racism and to promote equality, inclusion, and deep respect for the affected communities. We accept that there are many different ways to act as an ally in this quest, and we will continue to be in conversation with one another and the community to discern what actions might serve best.

We reject the racism, intolerance and hate that inspires this violence and unite to lift up communities that are being targeted. We also consider this a moment for reflection on the different ways we can offer support, educate ourselves, and take skillful action towards creating communities that celebrate inclusivity and belonging.

As an organization with special expertise in the art of conversation and fostering meaningful connection and inclusion– one-on-one and in teams/groups – we are committed to finding ways to deploy this expertise in ways that can help us collectively move from where we are to a more equitable, inclusive, and hopeful future. We commit to creating safe spaces for ongoing conversations about race and racism, and the design of processes to help equip more people to have these conversations skillfully and confidently.
