Let's Honor Dr. King’s Legacy with Action + Community

Over the last year, we have learned that the old ways of leading and working have changed forever. Living through an ongoing global pandemic, large scale racial justice uprisings, and a crushing economic downturn continue to test us…yet what comes next feels uncertain.

Many have gained greater awareness of how systemic racism, and white supremacy culture specifically impact our work. And still, our organizations struggle to both name and take action to dismantle these dominant systems that maintain the status quo.

As DEI leaders, we help orient our workplaces to what's possible - to build systems of equity – systems centering fairness, inclusion, and justice. This work carries on Dr. King’s dream. On this “day on,” we honor his legacy by recommitting to build bridges across our differences.

Yet, what are we to do when our leaders refuse or fear naming the very real harms we bore witness to most recently on the U.S. Capitol? What happens when they fail to consider how these events hurt us? What are we to do when people on our team support this violent behavior?

These questions have landed on our shoulders. We are the ones charged with searching for answers. Fortunately, we don’t have to do it alone. This year, our team continues to grow our DEI community care work to help you recharge your batteries while advancing your vision.

Whether you want to participate in our free Belonging at Work Summit in July, take the 30 Day Belonging Challenge, or join the Belonging Membership Community for support all year long, we are here for you.

Together, let’s grow the #BelongingMovement!
