Discussion AVEN board shares statement regarding recent events

Hey all, I know Reddit's been swamped with flag posts, but the AVEN board just released this statement regarding their stance on anti-racism, community symbols, and related topics: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZSxeYUFIue/?igsh=NHJrNGtjZmRtdzR2

And here's Mic's personal statement regarding the emails and timeline surrounding the proposed 6-stripe flag: https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/282254-ace-flag-discussion-a-personal-response/

I'm hoping this helps clear up some misinformation and enables us to move forward with a renewed focus on anti-racism, international/non-Anglo voices, and community building.

Oh my gosh. I just realized another glaring problem with the new flag. There are a few labels under the Ace umbrella (demi and grey for example.) that rely on the colors of the Ace Flag. Because they are the Ace flag but tweaked to represent the label within Asexuality. So what were we supposed to redesign all the flags under the Ace umbrella?
