In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.”
― Angela Y. Davis
Black Lives Matter. They matter to us, and we stand behind the movement whole-heartedly.
But it’s more than just a movement–it’s a call to action. True progress towards anti-racism will not be achieved by a single person, in a single day, or in a single Instagram post. So we’re talking about and sharing all of the ways in which we can set actionable practices in motion and hold one another accountable. The overarching themes of which resulted in what we call Our Pledge.
We share it here with you today so that we all may continue to support each other and motivate one another to do better.
OUR PLEDGE
We at The Brand Stand pledge to take purposeful action against racism in pursuit of true racial equality by contributing our time, skills, and resources in the following three ways:
AMPLIFY BLACK VOICES
By sharing their work. As members of the creative community, it is our duty to contribute to a wider representation of celebrated creatives in our industry.
MAKE DONATIONS
Whether we make financial or creative contributions, anything we can give back to support these initiatives helps.
EDUCATE & CONVERSE
To perpetuate progress. Read books and articles, create and share educational content, and of course, have those difficult conversations. This is not an issue we can afford to remain silent on any longer.
That’s our pledge to you, reader. So hold us accountable. Share your suggestions to build upon this pledge. And together we’ll continue to fight against racism.
