A message from our founders in support of the Black Lives Matter movement

A message from our founders in support of the Black Lives Matter movement

The deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others are heartbreaking and indefensible. The accosting of Chris Cooper is shocking and illustrative of what communities of color face across our nation. Lovepop is a company rooted in love and inclusiveness, and we believe equality is a human right. The most recent incidents of inequality and injustice remind us again of the racism that exists in America. Black lives matter. Racism is real. It is wrong. And we must all acknowledge it and work together to create a future that does not include it.

At Lovepop, we stand against all forms of racism, violence, and hate. We hope and believe that we, as a society, can find a meaningful, positive, and peaceful path to solve these structural issues that our country needs to address. We acknowledge that there is much work to be done and that words without action won't drive change. So, we are making a commitment to ourselves, our customers, and our community to learn more, to speak up, and to be part of the solution.

We are committed to educating ourselves and focusing our efforts and resources on constructive solutions to implement critical change. Given the need now, we are donating $10,000 to the  NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and we will be matching donations from our employees to organizations that support equality and racial justice. At the same time, our leadership team is meeting daily to develop our short, medium, and long-term plans to identify and execute the actions that best use our platform to create meaningful change.
We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and informed team and community that lead by example to make a more equitable world. Our employees are eager to contribute to the fight against systemic racism, and we are working to provide them with the resources, information, and support that they need.

We are committed to our mission to create magical moments through joy and connection, which the world needs now more than ever. We will bring people together while acknowledging the pain our world is experiencing and proceed with compassion and care. We will continue to use our platform and our products to spread messages of love and inclusiveness.

To everyone affected by racism and inequality, we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.

Thank you so much for sharing. This means a lot. I love your products and believe they are heartfelt and creative. I have worked for the YWCA Greater Los Angeles for the past 17 years. Our motto is “Eliminate Racism and Empower Women.” Of course, we strive to empower families, with several Child Development sites throughout Los Angeles and Senior Citizen programs; the homeless, our youth and those who have experienced violent acts of sexual assault and human trafficking. We have fought against racism for 154 years…we too see, and hear and continue to stand in this fight. Thank you.

I saw your ad on Facebook, clicking on it merely out of curiosity. The photos are bright, clear, and quite colorful, and the website very easy to peruse. Your prices are reasonable, and I had need of a couple of cards in the near future so I splurged and ordered the flower basket and the olive tree. Before I give you my opinion of your cards, you need a little background on me… I’M AN EXTREMELY PICKY INDIVIDUAL!! 😄 So I expected your cards to be merely passable according to my very high standards. Thank you, Lovepop, for selling a quality product for a decent price! And a second thank you for providing such a variety of marvelous choices! I went back and ordered the $24 birthday bouquet for my mom’s upcoming birthday. It arrived ahead of schedule, and it’s just lovely. If I could, I would add the photo I just took to show it to my sister, as she usually gets our mom flowers for her birthday. She’s going to love that my flowers won’t wilt and die in a few days! Haha!
Keep it up! I’ll be back, and I’m going to tell everyone I know!

Thanks for the needed message regarding the unrest our nation is in right now. It is a privilege to be a small support of your great creative abilities. Since my birthday comes up on the 18th of June, I need flowers. I’ll be 84! Thanks for ALL you do for all of us; you are the greatest and best!
