A Message From The Spruce

Tuesday, June 2, 2020

At The Spruce, our mission is to help everyone make their best home. So we cannot stay silent about the injustices, discrimination, hate, and fear that many in our community are facing. We need to do our part to fight systemic racism and oppression; things need to change.

We can do more. We have the responsibility to use our platform to spread the message of inclusivity, equality, and human rights. We are listening, and we are learning. We will do better. Black lives matter.

This is just the first step, and it's not the last you'll hear from us about this. We are actively working on a concrete plan to make our team and our site more inclusive and to elevate a diversity of voices, which we will continue to share with you in the days and months to come.

Here are some organizations where you can donate to fight racial inequality:

Black Lives Matter
Color of Change
Minnesota Freedom Fund
Black Visions Collective
Know Your Rights Camp
American Civil Liberties Union

Sincerely, Melanie, Allison, Jamie, Sami, Kate, Margot, and Candace
