Comcast Resigns from the Silicon Valley Organization Board and Membership and Stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

4 months ago

At the heart of Comcast’s mission, vision, values and culture is a deep and longstanding commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Comcast has expressed outrage over the far-too-familiar and frequent acts of violence against the Black community, and has acknowledged the structural racism that fuels these injustices. Comcast seeks to play an integral role in driving lasting reform.

It is for these and other reasons that Comcast, like so many others, was appalled at the racist imagery recently posted on the Silicon Valley Organization (SVO) website.  We found it unacceptable and effectively immediately, Comcast will resign its positions on the SVO Board and SVO PAC Board and Comcast will rescind its membership in the SVO.

We have developed and begun executing a comprehensive, multiyear plan to allocate $100 million to fight injustice and inequality against any race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation or ability. In California specifically, we also recently announced a $350,000 donation to Opportunity Fund to provide microloans and wraparound services for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People Of Color)-owned small businesses. And just last week, we launched Comcast RISE, a national initiative created to help strengthen and empower small businesses hard hit by COVID-19. The Comcast RISE program will help thousands of small businesses over the next three years.

These are just a few examples to illustrate Comcast’s unwavering commitment to creating a more equitable, just and inclusive society.

To learn more about Comcast’s commitments to advance equality, read this letter from our Chairman and CEO, Brian Roberts.

Public Safety Power Shutoff

Powerful Winter Storm Creates Power Outages and Impacts Comcast Services

An “atmospheric river” winter storm has brought heavy rain, high winds, flash floods, avalanche warnings and extensive power outages to much of Northern California.

The storm has created impacts from the Sierra to Fresno, including the Bay Area and throughout numerous coastal communities. The system is expected to continue bringing heavy rain and wind to the area through Friday.

Numerous communities are experiencing power outages and thousands were told to evacuate in the Santa Cruz, California region.

Comcast services require commercial power to operate. Internet and video, as well as landline and even mobile phone services for homes and businesses, may stop functioning within hours after the commercial power is shut off.

Comcast understands this disruption to services can have a major impact on people’s lives and businesses, especially during the global pandemic.

The safety of our communities and employees is our utmost priority and Comcast takes special care during storms to ensure public safety. Once commercial power is restored, we will restore Comcast services that have been affected as quickly as possible in accordance with public safety and regulatory guidance.

Here are a few things you can do to stay informed:

  • Confirm your contact information at xfinity.com/myaccount—We will use this information to contact you if we expect a service disruption caused by a planned power outage. You can also use My Accountto check if your service has been restored.
  • Comcast Business customers can check their My Accountapp or the Comcast Business Status Center to get information and valuable updates.
  • Download your favorite shows and movies for offline viewing—With the Xfinity Stream app, you can watch shows and movies offline in case you lose power.
  • Download the Xfinity Connect App to receive Xfinity Voice calls via your mobile phone—Xfinity Voice customers can make and receive calls with their Xfinity phone number using their mobile phone.
  • Visit the Comcast California Blogwhere we will post information, updates and answers to commonly asked questions. On the blog, we’ve launched a special PSPS web page where you can get additional information.
  • Follow us on Twitter — our handle is @ComcastCA and we post valuable updates regularly.

Even if power is off, Comcast’s team never stops working for you. From our family to yours, we hope you remain safe.
