5 things / ben & jerry’s
Hi there -
This week, corporations around the world spoke out against racism. There were some incredible public statements and commitments as you can read below. But all of that is shallow if an organization is not committed to equitable systems and opportunities. It's time to walk the talk. If you're ready and need help, here are some black diversity, equity, and inclusion consultants who are willing to do this work.
This week, here are the stories that inspired me the most:
Ben and Jerry's boldly stated "We must dismantle white supremacy" and then outlined four calls to action.
Sephora announced that their rewards points can be converted into donations for the National Black Justice Coalition.
Upwork will let black employees take bereavement leave as a reaction to the death and protests.
And there's a lot more...here's a comprehensive list of corporate commitments. Search the list to see how your favorite brand is responding.
Wishing you all peace and inspiration. Let's stay in touch on LinkedIn. Thanks for all you do to build a more inclusive world.
All the best-
