It might be helpful to know that the Equal Justice Initiative is strongly supported by the Google.org foundation ( https://www.google.org/our-work/inclusion/equal-justice-initiative/) and Google itself ( https://about.google/main/google-supports-equal-justice-initiative/), and has been for years. Moreover, golang.org is itself supported by Google.
I would encourage those posting here to reflect on what their message might say to African American contributors, in particular. Are they saying, "you and your contributions are welcome", or are they saying something more guarded and hesitant? And if so, why? This is not a request for you to answer these questions here, but a request for you to consider them yourself, and place their needs and interests ahead of your own for a moment.
