Message from MongoDB's CEO

View the note MongoDB's CEO emailed to all employees.

MongoDB stands with the Black community against racism, violence and hate.

Team,

I have been both sickened and saddened by the recent deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and countless other members of the Black community, all because of bigotry that is far too prevalent in our society.

I was struck by this poignant blog by Shenequa Golding. She talks of how black employees are exhausted, scared and shaken. Shenequa describes how young black professionals are recruited for their culture, but then told, in different ways, that their blackness and the struggles that come with it are to be left at the door.

I implore all of you not to leave your humanity at the door when you come to work for MongoDB. Permit yourselves to feel angry and upset about this violence, and be compassionate to your colleagues. There are many who are speaking out and protesting against these atrocities, but I worry that in a few weeks memories will fade and we all will get preoccupied with other things.

And nothing really will change.

If we truly want to live in a society where everyone -- no matter what they look like, where they are from, whom they love, or what God they pray to -- is treated equally, we cannot let this happen. To paraphrase Martin Luther King, the ultimate tragedy is not the oppression & cruelty by bad people, but the silence & indifference of good people. I encourage all of you to be agents of change.

Please reach out to me if you want to talk with me about your own feelings about this.

FAQ

What's the deadline for donations to be matched?

Donations made via this link (or any of the "DONATE" buttons on this page) up to $250,000 will be matched by MongoDB. You're able to donate until 11:59AM on December 31, 2020. In January of 2021, we will identify the total amount raised and donate the matched amount equally amongst all four organizations.

What if I donate towards any of these organizations separately or via a different link?

We're only able to track and match donations made via this link (or any of the "DONATE" buttons on this page) and will not be able to match individual donations to these organziations.

How are my donations split amongs the four organizations?

Any donation amount is split evenly across the following four organizations: Code 2040, The Bail Project, National Lawyers Guild Foundation, and National Urban League. E.g. a donation of $100 results in $25 donated per organization.

The "DONATE" button takes me to a BrightFunds account. Do I need an account to donate?

You do not need to have or create an account to donate.

If you are an employee of MongoDB, you have a Brightfunds account and we encourage you to sign in before donating. MongoDB does not have access to employee donation information unless the donor selects to make that public in the "Privacy" section of the donation page.

Which organizations does my donation support?

Code 2040, The Bail Project, National Lawyers Guild Foundation, and National Urban League.

How else can I support racial justice?

There are many resources online that offer actionable ways to educate yourself on and support racial justice.

A helpful resource shared by a member of the TUPOC community at MongoDB is Justice in June (and beyond).
