At JMA Films, we believe in the power of storytelling to connect, inspire, and foster understanding. We also believe in creating a world where everyone feels valued, respected, and included. That’s why we’re taking a stand against discrimination in all its forms.
Sadly, discrimination continues to be a pervasive issue in our society. It manifests in various ways, based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and age. Whether it’s subtle microaggressions or overt acts of prejudice, discrimination has no place in a just and equitable world.
Recently, our own team at JMA Films experienced an instance of discrimination. While we won’t delve into the specifics, this experience served as a stark reminder of the ongoing need to challenge prejudice and promote inclusivity. It reinforced our commitment to creating a workplace and a community where everyone feels safe, respected, and empowered.
We believe that silence in the face of injustice is complicity. As Martin Luther King Jr. eloquently stated, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” We refuse to be silent. We believe it’s crucial to speak out against discrimination whenever and wherever we encounter it.
There is no excuse for discrimination. It’s not simply a matter of differing opinions; it’s about denying people their fundamental human rights and dignity. It creates divisions, perpetuates inequality, and undermines the fabric of our society.
At JMA Films, we’re committed to:
We encourage everyone to join us in this important work. We can all play a role in creating a more inclusive and just world. By challenging our own biases, educating ourselves and others, and speaking out against discrimination, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Let’s remember the powerful words of Martin Luther King Jr.: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Let’s work together to build a world free from discrimination, where justice and equality prevail.
