We at Lioden share in the heartbreak of the death of George Floyd. We have watched in paralysing horror at the events that have occurred in the days following. We do not normally make statements of this nature, as we felt it should be obvious which side of the argument we landed on. We have since realised that "it should be obvious" isn't enough.

We stand strongly and proudly with the Black community, and we will never tolerate racism, hate speech, exclusion, bias or oppression. The violence we have seen over the past few days, and indeed in the decades - centuries - previously, is deplorable.

We are committed to keeping Lioden as a safe place from discrimination and a relief from the real world when those who suffer need it the most.

We would like to share a link that we have found very informative during this time if you are wondering about a place to donate towards a cause, or looking to further educate yourself on the matter: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/
