The Co in Good Times x Our Pledge
In this moment there are many voices speaking a great array of words, advice and wisdoms. We are being gifted with a wealth of incredible resources to journey through. What we as an organisation already know is that we want to listen, to learn and to positively contribute to a better, equal and brighter tomorrow. We are, always, stronger together.
We believe that being a small young company in the early stages of our life provides us with a wonderful opportunity to integrate policies and practices that reflect our personal values and we are thankful for the loud global protest by the #blacklivesmatter movement, #blackouttuesday and #theshowmustbepaused for providing us with a focussed opportunity to consider how we implement these ideas through our actions.
As a Dutch based organisation with deep and strong roots in South Africa, whose business focusses on the promotion and development of African Talent we must work hard and diligently for the future we envision.
Our pledge:
To listen, learn and grow as an organisation that aims to positively contribute to fundamental systemic change.
To be actively anti-racist through focussed and sustained action.
To contribute to developing the future industry through mentorship, internships and job opportunities.
To fundraise and donate towards organisations that support the fight for justice, equality and opportunity.
To remain open, honest and self-critical and to actively engage in conversation, debate and dialog.
To ensure that our roster, events and activities are representative and reflective of our commitments.
To actively encourage and support our artists and partners in being better representative.
To focus our actions locally whilst being conscious and supportive of the global voice.
To continually revisit and review our pledge to ensure we maintain, develop and improve our commitments in the long term.
The Co in The Good Times does not mean Corporation; it stands for Connection, Community, Collective, Collaborative, Coalition, and so much more… We inherently believe that together we will build a better world. We appreciate the beautiful depth of diversity within our friendships and we invite you to engage with us, contribute and share your thoughts.
