Over the past few weeks, there has been an outpouring of statements and actions in solidarity with # BlackLivesMatter - Generator stands actively and firmly in solidarity with Black artists and all Black lives. At Generator, we acknowledge that our work has harmed and, at times, failed the Black artists and community members we’ve engaged. We’re in the process of listening to folks who have come forward, and beginning to reach out to our community with active steps to transform, decolonize, un-learn, re-learn, and better support the Black, Indigenous and POC folk we work with. We are committed to transparency about what this process will look like for us, and we are prioritizing checking in with those who are closest to Generator. We’ll have more to say soon.
We see, support, and stand in solidarity with the anti-racist work that our colleagues and communities are doing. We join them in calling for justice and action.
If you want to talk to us about this statement, Generator, or an experience you’ve had with us, our ears and eyes are open. Email feedbackforgenerator@gmail.com, which will be monitored by members of the Generator Board, Kevin Matthew Wong and Elenna Mosoff. They will respond to all emails received and any requested confidentiality will be respected.
