Electronic Arts Donates $1 Million to Fight Racism Video game publisher and developer Electronic Arts (EA) announced in a statement made by CEO Andrew Wilson that they are donating a million dollars “to organizations dedicated to the fight for racial justice in the U.S. and against discrimination around the world.” Those organizations include the Equal Justice Initiative, the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund and more.
It was also revealed that EA will “double match any funds" that people make to organizations through EA's YourCause program during June.
Their statement comes in response to the recent protests against racial injustice, which were sparked by the killing of George Floyd by police.
EA also said in their statement that they “stand with all of [their] African-American / Black colleagues and partners, families and friends, and everyone around the world who is ready to see [racism] end.”
