The senseless killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks, and too many others that have resulted in heartfelt protests around the globe, demand our attention, our compassion, and our action. We, at Greenheart, are deeply aligned with this cause and stand with all those who are working toward social and transformational justice to end systemic racism, and to reconcile our nation’s racist past and present.
So much pain is being expressed in communities around the world, and none more acutely than that of our family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and classmates within the African American community. The essence of Greenheart’s mission is to Connect People and Planet through the fostering of respectful connections around the globe beginning with our communities in the United States. Throughout Greenheart’s history, we have built strong relationships and valued respect for all people and all cultures. We are now called upon to hold forth these values at an even more profound level, by deepening our pledge to create bonds of mutual understanding and appreciation for all people, and most importantly for the Black communities who have been victims of so much injustice.
Every one of us can make a difference in our own community and within our sphere of influence. We ask Greenheart’s global community to join us in our dedicated commitment and tireless action to help create a more peaceful, connected and just world through speaking out against racism, participating in peaceful protests, signing petitions, voting for compassionate leaders, and saying no to those who do not support a vision of equality and justice for all.
Because it is vitally important to address this issue more fully, Greenheart will continue having internal and external conversations to assure that our actions speak louder than our words, and will be updating our community going forward.
Signed,
Greenheart International
