It would be wrong for us to ignore the unearned privilege that exists in Node.js: much of the project leadership is white, and a majority are men. We are and have been systematically complicit in perpetuating the issues that led to where we are now. We can't change how we've built out the project's leadership to date, but we can change how we build it moving forward. We are dedicated to being a part of the solution by actively centering the Black community with our collective platforms to uplift Black voices, share projects founded and built by Black community members, and actively hold ourselves accountable to our promises and make changes as needed. While it is our responsibility and it is not the work of the community to hold us accountable, we welcome you to share ways that we can do better by emailing blacklivesmatter@nodejs.org or reaching out individually to any of our project leaders.

The labor to dismantle white supremacy does not fall on Black community; it falls on the rest of us. If there are Black folks looking for collaboration, amplification, mentorship, guidance, or any sort of support, we're here for you (see below).

Beginning with our upcoming Collaborator Summit event, and extending beyond, we will be offering mentorship to Black members of the community who wish to become contributors to the Node.js project. If you are interested in this, please send us an email at blacklivesmatter@nodejs.org or direct message us at @nodejs on Twitter. We will post more information on how we will be proceeding with this effort as we finalize the details both for the period of the Collaborator summit and beyond that single event.
