A Statement from Code for Good regarding DEI: No force could compel us to stop working on the following: accountability, representation, respect, fairness, diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility. Respect is a foundational part of everything we do, and all of these are essential ingredients in building a healthy, respectful community. We understand that we are better as a community and a society when we strive for diversity. Whether we are writing code, designing a product, or creating a user experience, it’s essential that the data we rely on all reflect different backgrounds, experiences, thinking, and perspectives. Right now, this clarity and conviction are crucial. In all we do, Code for Good strives to ensure fairness, accessibility, and inclusion aren’t afterthoughts but drivers of excellence. We care about you! #codeforgopdwm #DEI #representation #diversity #equality #inclusion #coding #design #nonprofit

Today's the day for Weekend for Good, and the event wouldn't be possible without the support of our sponsors—and the watchful eye of our treasurer, Jonathan Webster. Jonathon spent 15 years on the West Coast working for startups and familiar tech companies like Expedia and Atlassian. He’s since moved back to Michigan, setting down roots for his wife and 2 kids while working remotely leading an analytics team for FedEx. Jonathon joined Code for Good, hoping to make a difference for companies that support good causes.

If your firm is looking for SEO results, look no further than our newest sponsor, Avalanche Creative. They're young and energetic and can teach you SEO in less time than it takes an oil change. (And probably for a lot less, considering the price of oil….) Thanks for sponsoring Weekend for Good!
