Alley unilaterally condemns the brutal, premature, unanswered death of Black individuals and the systemic racial injustices that occur every day in America.

We are taking action. We urge others to do the same.

We have made donations to Black Lives Matter, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Committee to Protect Journalists, and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

We are committed to learning from and amplifying the message of these organizations and many other voices in the social justice and journalism spaces.

We are taking immediate steps to evaluate and address the reach of bias within our own conversations and practices.

As technologists, we often find solace in the simplicity of binaries. Progress has but one side. We stand in solidarity with those fighting for justice.
