At VSCO, we've been hard at work building a diverse, safe, and inclusive community for expression.
Expression spans far beyond just art; it's also rooted in faith, creed, sexuality, and thousands of other vectors of identity.
We're proud of this diversity in our community.
Recently, President Trump signed an executive order to close the United States’ borders to certain refugees, immigrants, and even documented residents. We see this not only as a threat to human expression, but also to our Constitution and our democracy. Furthermore, we believe such a policy flies in the face of how and why the United States was founded.
It's always been important for us to provide a forum for conversation, but also to be an active participant as well. In the past, we've used our platform to share an on-the-ground perspective of the crisis in Syria and showcase the beauty of diversity within our community.
Today, we're continuing this conversation and standing beside our global community by donating to the International Rescue Committee. We encourage you to join us in our support. The International Rescue Committee responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future.
We know that having a diverse community means there will be different viewpoints and, at times, even disagreements. However, it is our responsibility to show one another respect, to seek shared understanding, and to live with unwavering compassion.
For that is what brings us together.
