Because of the events that happened on August 11-12 in Charlottesville, Virginia, we believe that it is necessary to speak out against the hate that was shown. As a company, M57 strives to show love and stand for love. We are greatly saddened by what happened in Charlottesville and hope that racism and hate are stopped in our generation in America and around the world.

White nationalism/supremacy is rooted in the belief that white people are a superior race and should be the dominant race. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Each one of us is a beautiful manifestation of the heart of God on this Earth. We believe that the lie that one race is greater than another is an evil doctrine.

As a company, we support all races and are friends with people of all races. We need your help to fight racism and support love. What are some things we can do every day to support the equality of all people? I know that getting educated on this subject is huge. Many of us who are white don’t realize the severity of racism simply and sadly because we are white.

A couple things that can help is making sure we have friends of color who can inform us of how racism is affecting them. We also believe that we need to come together and be unified so that we can find ways to destroy the injustice of racism.

What are some ways we can come against hate and racism this week? What are ways we can remind ourselves daily to show love to all people? We would love to hear your thoughts!
