Hey folks, we’d like to address what’s been going on in the world over the past number of days. It’s a difficult and confusing time, obviously, and as we’re both used to listening and learning in times of hardship, we felt it was especially important that we speak up and lend our voices to the ever growing choir that’s standing up and demanding to be heard.
As we mentioned in our post earlier today, we have done some re-organizing of our upcoming schedule to more prominently feature the voices of marginalised communities, including those in the Black community, indigenous communities and other communities of colour, as well as those in the LGBTQ+ community. Moving forward we commit to maintain a consistent level of diversity and inclusion in our programming, and we’re really excited about this new direction.
We’d also like to share that, as of today, June 1st, until June 7th, we will be participating in the #muted movement - meaning, we will not be sharing any of our own original content. Instead of our usual content, we will be using this space to share resources that are available for anyone looking to learn how to actively participate as an ally, educate themselves on the history of racism in North America, as well as places to donate to causes that support anti-racism work across the world. Our regularly scheduled programming will resume June 8th.
We condemn racism and oppression in all of its forms.
Stay safe, wash your hands, and Black Lives Matter.
#BlackLivesMatter
