We’re Horrified By Our Twitter Actions – Charitable Humans -

There are no words to express the distaste and hateful words that our Social Media Coordinator unleashed on what was supposed to represent Charitable Humans, an organization that has engaged in global humanitarianism activities in war-torn and severely impoverished nations since 2005. The purpose of our charity was, and so remains, to make the world a better place by focusing on a larger mandate of cultivating a global citizenship initiative along with an online platform for active engagement, and a platform to help people and nonprofit organizations like ours further the reach and impact of good deeds.
We don’t condone the denouncement or imperilment of any human, individual or group, no matter what atrocities they might guilty of; ultimately because that serves no useful purpose and is rather an impairment to progressive change. Our views extend equally toward those that do good and evil in the world, for both have much to teach us about the state of humanity. We’re not for a moment implying that the targets in which the Tweets offensive content are either good, bad, or otherwise because we don’t believe those words are more than labels based upon an individuals perception of an other.
We take full responsibility for this outrageous lack of leadership, for which there is no excuse, though there is an explanation we’d like to put forward in the interest of transparency. We are not a large organization, and we’ve invested much time and sacrifice trying to undertake an endeavor that is much greater than we have the resources or team members to focus on at the capacity needed.
While continuing in our humanitarian programs, we’re also working to develop further the massive program that we envision shortly coming to fruition. Our website has much work that needs doing, and we’re not at the stage where any postings or social media activity, beyond future announcements, are warranted. Since that hasn’t been our focus, we haven’t paid any consideration whatsoever to our social media channels, else greater concern and action would have halted this level of conduct much earlier. We failed in this oversight and sincerely apologize.
We have closed down the social media accounts, though there will be other content distribution channels that we’re exploring could exist, and as that is underway, we will take similar action as we become more aware of the situation.
Half the team is out of the country at this time, so please bear with us as we fumble through this unexpected terrain in a field we have little experience in, which is more visible to the world and ourselves at this time for reasons that are clear to all. We hope that people reserve judgment of our organization as a whole until our project can stand on its own merits once it’s up and running.
We have learned many lessons from the nightmare of an experience and again apologize deeply to all those undergoing an already treacherous crisis that seems to be getting much worse with each news update. Hopefully, the response teams, professional service providers, and infrastructure that will be critical to the relief efforts will deploy with utter urgency and sufficient levels to get people the support they need.
