We want to thank everyone for their response to our earlier email and we want to reiterate our commitment to matching the outpouring of donations that have been made so far today. Just to clarify, please send your donation receipts to Gabrielle Reiner at [email protected]. We want to make clear again that the company is unequivocally standing with our black and brown colleagues and community. We are in full support that Black Lives Matter! Tomorrow we will be participating in “Black Out Tuesday” in solidarity with others. We must continue to make sure everyone is treated with dignity and justice. All of this violence, both overt and covert, must stop.Bad Robot, Katie McGrath & J.J.
In addition to supporting our community through donations, Gersh is committing to begin a more proactive dialogue with studios and production companies. We will work to develop projects and to release the stories of underrepresented persons and clients. It is through the prioritizing of representing ideas and stories that often go unheard that we as a company can help make a positive difference in our industry and communities.
On a personal note, we are overwhelmed with sadness and grief. We are here for you and you have are support. Together, we must unify all of us for peace and humanity.

Police Officer Doesn’t See A Difference Between Black, Light-Skinned Black SuspectsFORT WAYNE, IN—Explaining that his sole concern is serving and protecting his community, Fort Wayne police officer Vincent Turner told reporters Wednesday that he does not see any difference between black and light-skinned black suspects. “As an officer of the law, I am committed to administering justice swiftly and even-handedly, regardless of whether the suspect has dark skin or really dark skin,” said Turner, adding that he has no problem giving a full pat-down to any potential criminal or hauling them down to precinct headquarters in the back of his patrol car, even if they are more of a light mocha color. “When you’re responding to reports of gunshots fired, or sprinting down an alleyway, you’re not thinking about where the suspect falls on the spectrum of African-American skin tones—you’re thinking about doing your job. Heck, the guy could be a very dark-looking Latino, for all I care—I treat every one of them the same. He’s still just a suspect to me.” Turner added that his dedication to upholding the law stems from a belief that all local residents should be able to walk their streets without fear, whether they come from an affluent white neighborhood or a working-class white neighborhood.
