In a Jan. 7, 2021 letter to Color of Change, Rich Aberman, founder and Chief Product Officer of WePay, stated, “WePay and the entire JPMorgan Chase & Co firm share your profound concern regarding the violent events in our nation’s capital on January 6th. We share your goal of eradicating hate, ending disparities, and helping our nation heal its racial wounds.”
“WePay and the entire JPMorgan Chase firm joins Color of Change in condemning the violent events that occurred at the U.S. Capitol and we share their goal of eradicating hate, ending disparities, and helping our nation heal its racial wounds. WePay made the decision in early 2020 to stop processing payments for the crowdfunding industry, including platforms like GiveSendGo, and did not process the payments that are being alleged in media reports. We appreciate Color of Change raising these important issues. We remain committed to advancing racial equity and justice and to working with Color of Change and others to build inclusive communities.”
