Goodman’s Commitment Statement
On behalf of all of us at Goodman’s Jewelers,
We hope that all are paying attention to not just the events of last week, but to the fact that they were just a flashpoint, shining a spotlight on a much bigger and greater issue. We believe we are all of one race; the human race. How we react now will define our future. We support the right to protest and support the movement taking place. Let us be clear, everything in our store is replaceable. They are just things. Nothing can ever bring back the many lives lost and the lasting scars on the family’s hearts. The injustice cannot be tolerated, and we understand that we cannot fully understand. We would also like to take a moment to say thank you to the many people who have reached out and offered their love, support, and assistance. Michael Johnson from the Boys and Girls Club, Madison365, and Paul Delgado, thank you for your efforts to help all the downtown Madison businesses and your unwavering dedication to create the change that is so desperately needed. We will support your mission in any way we can. Thank you to our community, neighbors, friends, and every single person who has reached out. Thank you Alan Robinson, for doing us a great kindness when your heart must have been very conflicted. We are grateful to all of you. Bob and Irwin Goodman always believed that it is our duty to give back to the community that supports us and more importantly, giving and lifting up those that need it most. We are dedicated to rebuilding Goodman’s not to replace the “things” within it, but to fulfill our promise to our community, honor the memory of Bob and Irwin, and work to create lasting change. We are and will be listening. We are still here, and we must go forward with change that is real and effective in creating equality. At Goodman’s we celebrate love and that is what we intend to do.On behalf of everyone here at Goodman’s Jewelers, we sincerely thank you for your support. We are very proud to be a part of this community, and we look forward to working together to make it a better place. Be well and stay safe
