I've been reading Erica Chenoweth's (Academic Dean, Harvard Kennedy School) work on mobilisation during times of democratic backsliding. I appreciated their analysis of current events and insight into how civil society can save the day when institutional checks and balances no longer can.

With DEI initiatives being culled around the US, I realised I have a lot of room to better understand how organisations implement them. This is a helpful description from the Harvard Business Review, with plenty of points to reflect on where I and organisations I work with are at.

The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web page, removing the “T” in references to LGBTQ+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.
