A Response to Our Community & Contributors 

Originally Published: June 06, 2020

When our community calls on us to do more, we have a responsibility to listen and take action. It is clear that our organization has a lot of work to do. We must reflect as individuals, and as an institution on how we can participate in, and support the nationwide call for dismantling white supremacy.

We have been reviewing all feedback over the last several days shared both publicly and privately and we accept the criticism, humbly, and are grateful for the opportunity to do better. Specifically, through all that is happening across the nation and world in support of Black lives, our fellows, contributors, and collaborators have generously taken the time to propose a way for us to move forward. We will honor the timing set forth in the community letter, and have been and will continue working to create a detailed plan of action to be announced.

Willard Bunn III, Chairman
