myGwork's Statement In Support Of #BlackLivesMatter

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor” – Desmond Tutu.

As an organisation whose foundation is inclusion and equality for LGBTQ+ people in the workplace, we grieve for the lives of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery and the many other victims of racism and police brutality.

Hatred, discrimination and injustice has no place in our societies. 

We stand in solidarity with the Black community at this time and in particular with Black LGBTQ+ people in our team, on our platform and all those who engage with us. We cannot stay silent in the face of racial injustice whether it is within our own communities or outside of them. We all have a responsibility to end discrimination and intolerance and to continue to educate ourselves and dismantle systematic racism.

Mygwork remains resolute in not only our words but also in our actions, directly in our work here in the UK with UK Black Pride and with our community partners around the globe in continuing to work together to achieve true equality for LGBTQ+ people.
