The deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others are heartbreaking and indefensible. The accosting of Chris Cooper is shocking and illustrative of what communities of color face across our nation. Lovepop is a company rooted in love and inclusiveness, and we believe equality is a human right. The most recent incidents of inequality and injustice remind us again of the racism that exists in America. Black lives matter. Racism is real. It is wrong. And we must all acknowledge it and work together to create a future that does not include it.
At Lovepop, we stand against all forms of racism, violence, and hate. We hope and believe that we, as a society, can find a meaningful, positive, and peaceful path to solve these structural issues that our country needs to address. We acknowledge that there is much work to be done and that words without action won't drive change. So, we are making a commitment to ourselves, our customers, and our community to learn more, to speak up, and to be part of the solution.
We are committed to educating ourselves and focusing our efforts and resources on constructive solutions to implement critical change. Given the need now, we are donating $10,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and we will be matching donations from our employees to organizations that support equality and racial justice. At the same time, our leadership team is meeting daily to develop our short, medium, and long-term plans to identify and execute the actions that best use our platform to create meaningful change.

We will bring people together while acknowledging the pain our world is experiencing and proceed with compassion and care. We will continue to use our platform and our products to spread messages of love and inclusiveness.
To everyone affected by racism and inequality, we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.

Got my cards and I love them. Can’t wait to give them to the people I got them for. Will definitely buy more!
Thank you for sharing your commitment and your donation to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. I am a life member. I was a very early supporter of your beautiful genius cards. I really appreciate their intricacy. Keep up the great designs. I hope to see more for adult males. I just bought a pack of five for our family spring birthdays. They will be much appreciated.
Your message is very sincere and comforting, beautifully done and really touches the soul. Please keep up your good works and continue to share your thoughts with us. People like you will make a difference!!
As a Black mother of 2 sons and 1 grandson and a satisfied customer of lovepop cards ( they are wonderful, kinda magical); I see this as a welcome start. We, Black American citizens/ taxpayers/ veterans/ essential workers, have never enjoyed liberty. We have always been over policed. We have marched, petitioned, voted as we continue to mourn the murders of our kinfolk. Until each and every Black life matters; no American is free. I urge you to consider designs incorporating BLM, civil rights as human rights, etc. I encourage you to keep us informed about your actions to address discrimination, staffing at all levels, mentoring POC to do what you do and donations to organizations that actively support freedom, justice and equality initiatives for Black people. Create magic and beauty and innovation and the promise of a just, equal, free society for all
With respect and wishing you peace, Simone
Just ordered my first…and it has been shipped!!
Can’t wait to receive it…thanking you in advance!
