As an organization that prides itself on our diverse staff and the culture of inclusion, we feel obligated to take a stance on current affairs.
AnimeNEXT is against all forms of behavior that marginalize any group of people. Such actions have no place in today’s society, and neither do the people that propagate these beliefs.
Senseless brutality based on the color of someone’s skin is barbaric. We are all human beings and as such should treat each other with dignity and respect. Children do not see the world based on skin color yet somehow many adults define their misguided beliefs by it.
We at, AnimeNEXT, proudly stand with the African American community in the pursuit of equality. We will be with all of you every step of the way until justice is not something reserved for the few, but the many.
Stay safe, stay vocal, stay vigilant, and forever remain persistent.
Sincerely,
Bryan Long
Convention Chairman
