This is quite a Twitter thread from Reddit's Alexis Ohanian.
I co-founded @reddit 15 years ago to help people find community and a sense of belonging.β°
It is long overdue to do the right thing. Iβm doing this for me, for my family, and for my country.

Iβm saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his black daughter when she asks: βWhat did you do?ββ°https://t.co/4UiozIOo8P

I've resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate, + I will use future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community, chiefly to curb racial hate, and Iβm starting with a pledge of $1M to @kaepernick7βs @yourrightscamp

I believe resignation can actually be an act of leadership from people in power right now. To everyone fighting to fix our broken nation: do not stop.https://t.co/LWI1OnCaVi
