Speaking up against racism. Anti-Racism in Action: How to (Safely) Call Out Racial Discrimination at Work
About this Event
"A riot is the language of the unheard." — Martin Luther King, Jr.
Leaders today understand that making progress with diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility is a journey of cultural change that they must undertake.
What are you doing to propel change and inclusion within your company culture and beyond?
Diversity, equity and inclusion — commonly referred to as DEI — has become increasingly important in the workplace. Employers must now actively work to create meaningful change in spite of the history of injustice that has marginalized underrepresented groups within the workplace.
As communicators, we are charged with shaping our organization’s reputation and creating value for brands. No matter the title or position at work, we all have a responsibility to further cultivate diversity, advance equity and practice inclusion in our communications.
Anti-racism means taking action and calling out racial discrimination when you see it happening.
However, in the workplace, this can be a risky thing to do as it can lead to real and personal consequences.
But because silence means complicity, we have to be brave.
In this presentation, we suggest a plan for calling out racial discrimination at work that can hopefully minimize the risks involved.
