Our Commitment
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 us to where we are. 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. We will actively center the Black community and uplift Black voices. We will share projects founded and built by Black community members. We will hold ourselves accountable, fulfill our promises, and make changes as needed. While it is our responsibility to hold ourselves accountable, we welcome your help. We invite you to share ways that we can do better. Email blacklivesmatter@nodejs.org or reach out to any of our project leaders.
To Black people looking for amplification: We're here for you.
To Black members of our community seeking collaboration: We're here for you.
Taking Action
We will work with any Black community member who wishes to contribute to Node.js. Please contact us at blacklivesmatter@nodejs.org or @nodejs on Twitter with any questions.We have an upcoming free online collaboration summit. There are many different sessions across various OpenJS projects, including Node.js. We have an orientation guide to help you figure out how you might want to take part. If you have any questions or want to talk about anything, please reach out to blacklivesmatter@nodejs.org.
Moving forward we plan to offer ongoing support, mentorship, and sponsorship to
help those from the Black community get involved in our project. We will aslo be analyzing our existing processes and governance to see what changes we can make to make sure our project is the kind of environment that the Black community wants to participate in.
