To the leaders of our companies:
As I write this in June 2020, issues of racial injustice are deeply impacting the black community following the murders of George Floyd and countless others. The systemic racial discrimination and inequality that continue to plague our society have our communities and workplaces activating their responsibilities to drive change.
It’s also Pride Month, a critically important time for me as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Pride Month is often known for its parades and rainbow flags, but 51 years ago, the movement got its start following protests and riots led by trans women of color in New York City. This moment feels particularly poignant—and the time for everyone, including employers, to put a dedicated focus on allyship.
