Gradle demands accountability
As a distributed company that calls many countries home, we have been shocked and saddened by the death of George Floyd and the police response to the protests. People of color are being murdered and brutalized by police with few consequences. Gradle stands in solidarity with protesters demanding accountability.
We urge governments worldwide, including the US federal, state, and local governments to act swiftly and meaningfully to address the root cause of these protests and take immediate measures to stop unlawful killings by police.
Gradle folks across the company have donated thousands of dollars to organizations working to address racism and systemic injustices in the world and Gradle will be evaluating within our own organization how to do more.
If you would like to do something, please consider:
- Donating money to Amnesty International, Black Visions Collective, NAACP LDF, or National Bail Fund.
- Volunteering time with organizations in your local community that fight for equality and justice
- Writing to your government representatives
