Senior Management at Kickstarter: Recognition Now
A letter to Senior Management at Kickstarter from Some Former Kickstarter Staffers
--
Senior Management at Kickstarter:
We are former employees of Kickstarter. We helped build Kickstarter, we fostered its community, and collectively we’ve launched and backed thousands of projects. We did this work and used the platform because we believed in Kickstarter’s mission of bringing creative projects to life. With its re-incorporation from a C-Corp to a PBC, Kickstarter declared its intent to hold itself to a higher standard, and focus on the impact of its decisions on society.
So we call on you, senior management, to follow through on Kickstarter’s commitment to doing better by society, its community, and its staff. Kickstarter United is prepared to demonstrate majority support and has asked you for voluntary recognition of the union. We call on you now to recognize.
We are watching. The world is watching. The actions you take can help create a more equitable workplace, platform, and world.
Always,
Aaron Robbs
