Taking a Stand
/Command-Control-Power stands against the systemic racism and prejudice that pervades the country and society we live in. America has a long and painful history of violence perpetrated against black people. As allies of the Black Lives Matter movement, we want to be active participants in bringing a long-overdue end to this cycle of oppression.
We are inspired by our colleagues and those in other industries who have chosen to speak out, both personally and professionally against ongoing social injustice and inequality. On a daily basis, we see hateful rhetoric, ever expanding ignorance, and continuing violence. Recent events have put these weaknesses of our society on full display. We must try to return to a time of meaningful discourse. If our country’s leaders are incapable of leading by example, we need to step up individually to show our peers how it is done.
Those of us who have privately disapproved of the shameful behavior and injustices to our fellow humans should no longer stand silent. We must peacefully find ways to not only express our disapproval but take action to create change.
There is good in this world. Not all who are sworn to protect and serve are evil. Not all who are of opposing viewpoints are ignorant. But enough is happening in public view to show all of us that action towards meaningful change is needed. That can begin by making your voice heard. By donating to a cause. By cleaning up your city’s streets. Show the world that you care and others can follow in your footsteps.
We have donated one month's Patreon income from Command Control Power to these three charities: Black Lives Matter, Communities United Against Police Brutality, and Campaign Zero.
Please consider joining us in donating to a cause. Here are some worthwhile resources, if you so choose.
To listen is to learn. To that end, if you have any input or thoughts you would like to share with us, we would love to hear from you.
