Dear Grommet Community,

We are horrified by the injustice and violence taking place against Black individuals and communities, in which the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery are only the most recent in a history that is too long.

We stand with the Black community against systemic racism, injustice, and violence. Black Lives Matter.

We have more to learn and more action to take in doing our part to dismantle systemic racism. We are committed to taking immediate and sustained action. You can expect to hear more from us here on our blog.

We know that you, our community, care deeply about using your resources and voices to lift others up and to create a better world for all of us. With that in mind, here are some resources, organizations, and humans that our team is learning from right now, that we hope you may find helpful as well:
