Hi Friends,
We wanted to give an update on our donations and fundraising so far in 2020. Every year, we donate to local and national organizations that reflect our values and commitment to community. This year there has been an urgent need to step up. We know that much more than money is needed right now to support, protect and be allies to people impacted by inequality in the US- especially those impacted by Covid-19, climate change, and systematic racism and violence against BIPOC. We also acknowledge that we (and I, @isobel_bryr) are beginners in this work and we are not leaders in this area. We are here to learn and welcome feedback and input on how we can do better as a small business.
These are the donations we have made in 2020.
