At VIVID, we care deeply about the people who have been part of our community, even when our paths eventually diverge. In recent weeks, we have received troubling reports and observed concerning behavior from our former board member, Parker — including inappropriate comments directed toward our organization and reports of disruptive conduct involving other activist groups across the country.
This situation saddens us deeply. Activism is difficult work — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. No one is immune to the toll it can take. Out of genuine care and concern, we strongly encourage Parker to seek support from trusted mental health professionals who can help guide him through whatever struggles he may be facing.
At VIVID, we believe that wellness must be at the center of any movement for change. We urge all activists, organizers, and leaders to prioritize their mental health, seek support when needed, and remember that asking for help is never a weakness — it is a profound act of strength.
We sincerely wish Parker healing, growth, and peace. Our focus remains on building an activist movement rooted in mindfulness, accountability, and compassion.
