Like so many, the events of 2020 have overwhelmed us. We are angry at the senseless loss of life and lack of justice for Americans of color. We are exhausted from being alone, self-quarantining since mid-March in our homes. We are worried that the “She-session” (the recession adversely affecting women) will be a long, hard, awful road to travel together. And, more than anything, we are heartbroken at the loss, grief, distrust, and sadness that is with us all across our great country.
We are better than this. We deserve better than this.
At TechBae, we believe in the core philosophy of Before Anyone Else as a “golden rule.” We pull each other up when we fall down. We care for each other because we need each other. And now, more than ever, we need to ask each other what Dr. Sharon Melnick asked us in our recent webinar: “ How can you ask why is this happening FOR me – and not TO me?”We believe it is to finally propel us all towards action. Action to ensure that our great country stays great…for everyone. We are all BAES.
Four great links to learn more and share the gifts you have with others are below:
Read, learn, sign and give as you feel compelled to. But, do not withdraw. Do not stay quiet. Please, BAEs, help us kick all of this in the ass and reclaim the second half of 2020 to be a transformational year of equality, reflection, and care.
Stay safe—and know that we can’t wait to see you on Zoom soon.
