Apple stock up 11 percent in the past month, after the board announced it would urge shareholders to uphold diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives (DEI).

Shareholders vote tomorrow. Look for anti-DEI activists to take a big L (loss), just as Costco shareholders handed them by 98-2 percent.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

DEI programs were created to give everyone who meet objective standards a fair shot at serving our country. Diversity has changed America for the BETTER. Rolling back these programs and offices with an executive order is completely disgraceful.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

This was a masterclass in speaking truth to power. It won’t move him one inch but it will inspire others to be courageous and act.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

What if there was a space available to us as DEI(B/J/A) practitioners where we could step away from the weight of expectations, shed our “superhero” capes and just BE?

If this sounds like something that would ease things for you, even a little bit, check out upliftdei.com

I know you know this, but I’ll remind you anyways—you deserve to be heard, and loved, and supported, even when the world makes you feel like you’re asking for too much. You are not defined by the people who mistreat you.
