The Chuze Family Honors Ahmaud Arbery

One year after the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, the Chuze Family came together to honor Arbery and all Black lives lost to systematic injustice and racism. Read on to learn more about this event and our growing initiatives to support Diversity, Equity and Inclusion within the Chuze community.

On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery, a young Black man who was out for a jog in his neighborhood of Brunswick, Georgia was chased by men with firearms and brutally murdered as he tried to run and escape for his life. On the 1-year anniversary of Arbery’s death, we invited our Chuze Family to honor Arbery and all of the beautiful Black lives lost to systematic injustice and racism through our Run With Ahmaud virtual event. Tracking movement through the Chuze Fitness app and following an audio-guided 2.32 mile run by Coach Devon Carter on iChuze Fitness, over 1170 Chuze members ran a collective total of 874 miles, unlocking our $1500 donation to the Equal Justice Initiative.

Here at Chuze, we are committed to being a space of kindness, inclusion, and treating all humans with love and respect, but it has become increasingly clear to us that we must do more to actively listen, learn and fight for oppressed communities. See the steps we are beginning to take on our Chuze People page.

“Keep fighting. No matter what, keep fighting. Keep praying, hoping, believing and fighting.”

-Wanda Cooper Jones, Ahmaud Arbery’s mother
