Black Lives Matter
This week Stackshare posted a running list of developer tools companies supporting #BlackLivesMatter on Github. Companies like Elastic, Gatsby, Netlify and React Training moved quickly to match donations to organizations doing important work to fuel the potential for change in the United States.
In solidarity with the black community and with the intent of carrying forward the momentum created by the development community at large, Dojo, in partnership with SitePen, will match donations, up to a total contribution of $10,000, to the following organizations:
Black Lives Matter
The official #BlackLivesMatter Global Network builds power to bring justice, healing, and freedom to Black people across the globe. Donate
American Civil Liberties Union
The ACLU dares to create a more perfect union — beyond one person, party, or side. Our mission is to realize this promise of the United States Constitution for all and expand the reach of its guarantees. Donate.
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
The mission of the NAACP is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination. Donate.
Equal Justice Initiative
The Equal Justice Initiative is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society. Donate
