We've created a diversity, inclusion, and racial justice committee with three goals. First, we need to look inward. Racism is a white people's problem and we need to do the work to fix it. We'll examine race in our court, looking at sentencing disparities and hiring practices. Are we a welcoming, inclusive community? We want to be a just and inclusive employer. The second goal looks at us as an employer, providing a welcoming workplace. The third goal is engagement.

Not everyone will agree with our strategies and priorities on this topic, but it's crucial to acknowledge that.

Even if some individuals don't believe in it, they still have to adhere to these values and expectations to be part of the company. This may lead to a change in their mindset or their departure, which is a natural part of the process. Accountability is essential for everyone, and it comes with transparency.
