I've resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate, + I will use future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community, chiefly to curb racial hate, and I’m starting with a pledge of $1M to @kaepernick7’s @yourrightscamp

— Alexis Ohanian 🇦🇲 (@alexisohanian) June 5, 2020

Ohanian has further made the request for his position to be filled by a black candidate. He states that he founded the website in 2005 with the express purpose of helping people build communities and find a sense of belonging. To that end, Reddit has grown in leaps and bounds, facilitating individuals in finding like-minded peers and connecting with those who share similar interests. However, over the years, the tendency for the platform to be used by people with less-than-admirable intentions has not gone unnoticed. 

I believe resignation can actually be an act of leadership from people in power right now. To everyone fighting to fix our broken nation: do not stop.https://t.co/LWI1OnCaVi

Ohanian has further stated that gains made from Reddit stock will be put towards curbing racial hate and inequality. He has pledged an amount of $1M towards Know Your Rights Camp, a campaign to raise awareness on citizen’s rights and self-empowerment, funded by former American football player and civil rights activist, Colin Kaepernick.
