Our Values Are Not Negotiable: A Statement from Vega Genetics

At Vega Genetics, our mission extends far beyond the lab. We believe that true innovation—the kind that improves lives—can only flourish in a world rooted in justice, equity, and human rights. We have always been a company driven by principle, and today, we feel it is imperative to clearly and unequivocally state where we stand on the most critical social and political issues of our time.

We understand that speaking out carries weight, but remaining silent is an act of complicity we refuse to embrace.

Pro-Equity and Pro-Justice

Vega Genetics stands firmly on the side of equal rights for all people. Full stop. This is not a political talking point; it is a fundamental human belief. We are committed to dismantling systemic barriers that perpetuate inequality, whether based on race, religion, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. We believe in restorative justice and hold ourselves accountable for cultivating an internal environment and a broader community where every individual is treated with dignity and has equal access to opportunity.

Support for the LGBTQIA+ Community

We are pro-LGBTQIA+ and dedicated allies. The rights, safety, and joy of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual communities are non-negotiable. We vigorously oppose all legislation and rhetoric aimed at undermining bodily autonomy, restricting access to gender-affirming care, or making public life unsafe for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Our company policies reflect our commitment to full inclusivity, and we will continue to use our platform and resources to support organizations fighting for the full liberation of this community.

Pro-Women's Rights and Bodily Autonomy

Vega Genetics is unwavering in its support for women’s rights. We believe in the foundational principles of gender equity in the workplace and in society. Crucially, we believe in bodily autonomy. We condemn all efforts to restrict access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including abortion. A person's medical decisions are their own, and any legislation that diminishes this fundamental right is an attack on human freedom and equality. We stand with those fighting for true reproductive justice.

Global Solidarity and Pro-Palestine

We believe that international human rights must be universally applied. Vega Genetics is Pro-Palestine and stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people who are enduring a decades-long occupation, systemic oppression, and devastating humanitarian crises.

We call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid, and an end to the occupation that ensures justice, freedom, and self-determination for the Palestinian people. We believe the path to peace requires acknowledging the historical context and prioritizing human rights above all else.

Against the Actions of the Current Administration

We are strongly against what this administration is doing to the country and the world.

Their policies have consistently undermined democratic institutions, exacerbated wealth inequality, rolled back essential environmental protections, and damaged America's standing as a reliable advocate for human rights on the global stage. We specifically condemn:

 * The dismantling of environmental regulations that accelerate the climate crisis.

 * The rhetoric and policies that fuel division, xenophobia, and hate within our borders.

 * The foreign policies that prioritize profit and power over diplomacy, human rights, and global stability.

Our commitment to a sustainable, equitable future is directly in conflict with the actions and values of this current leadership. We will continue to advocate for leadership and policy that reflects compassion, scientific integrity, and a dedication to the common good.

Our Commitment

This statement is not an endpoint; it is a promise. At Vega Genetics, we will ensure that our purchasing power, partnerships, and public advocacy continue to reflect these core values. We encourage our employees, partners, and customers to join us in the pursuit of a more just and equitable world.
