Right now, a chapter of history is being written. We’ve been thinking a lot about this chapter, how will it end, and how we can help. What is certain: we want an ending where white supremacy is dismantled and the Black community is liberated from violence and racial injustice.⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
But to write that chapter, we need action. We will be donating $50,000 to support Black Youth Helpline, Know Your Rights Camp, Bail Out Project, and NAACP. And because Black Lives Matter to all of us at Wattpad, we're matching every employee donation up to an additional $25,000. ⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
On June 4, out of solidarity with Black communities everywhere, we are closing our offices around the world. We want our teams to have the time and space to comfort friends and loved ones, and to educate themselves about the systemic racism that oppresses these communities.⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
Above that, we will use our platform — one that’s a privilege to have, and a responsibility to use — to uplift organizations on the frontlines of this fight. That’s why we will use our ad space to raise awareness for, and prompt donations to, the organizations listed above.⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
To our Black community: we promise to keep putting our words into action, by listening to your voices and raising them up. You will always have a home on Wattpad.⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
To all others: we implore you to #CelebrateBlackWriters, today and everyday. We’ve curated a list of stories here on Wattpad to get you started, as well as a collection of educational resources on allyship, anti-racism, and more. All available via our link in bio.
