last week to organizations that support racial justice and equity. Earlier this week, the company announced that it would match employee donations to those organizations 100% up to $10,000 per employee until July 6.I know that many of you are angry and heartbroken, stressed and weary. I share those emotions, though can't begin to know how our Black colleagues feel.
At this moment, all of us are searching for answers. My first instinct when faced with something that's broken is to apply what I've already learned and fix the problem. But it's clear to me that I don't yet have the right toolkit for the issues that face us. Right now, it's time for me to listen.
For most of my life, I had subscribed to this idea that facilitating achievement was the key to solving the problem. I thought that if people had opportunities—no matter their color—they would work hard, find success, and flourish. My friend who sent the email, a Black man, helped me realize my thinking on this topic was wrong. What we have seen in the past two weeks is a manifestation of the broader, systemic problem that has persisted for centuries in the U.S.
I thought I was doing my part and contributing to positive change. It's so clear now that my actions weren't nearly enough. So, what should we do? What should I do? My first commitment to you is to listen. My leadership team and I will create more opportunities to listen, and better ways of making sure you are heard. I hope we will all work together to develop the right set of tools for the future: to improve our company and more broadly to ensure we can all live in a just society, and with respect for one another.
