This Pride Month, we stand united with the LGBTQIA community. We celebrate their resilience, their achievements, and their ongoing fight for equality. ✊ We're committed to creating a workplace that's truly inclusive, where everyone feels valued and respected for who they are. Here's how we're taking action: Advocating for LGBTQIA rights: We actively support initiatives that promote equality and acceptance for the LGBTQIA community. Educating ourselves: We're committed to ongoing learning about LGBTQIA experiences and identities. Challenging biases: We recognize that unconscious bias exists, and we're committed to creating a space where open dialogue and education can dismantle these biases. As Pride continues, let's all recommit to building a more inclusive world. #DiversityEquityInclusion #PrideAtWork #BeAnAlly

Here’s why: Your authenticity inspires trust and connects hearts ❤️🌈. Works every time. Being a leader means standing tall 🌳 for your community, especially in advocating for LGBTQIA rights. It's about making sure everyone feels like they belong, have equal access and where they can stand tall too 🤗. Let's create spaces where voices are really heard and diversity is truly celebrated! 🎉 Be the safe space you want to see 🏳️🌈✨. #LeadershipMatters #InclusivityWins #LGBTQIAAdvocacy "Safe spaces can no longer be bound and limited to physical locations, but they must be found and created in each of us, allowing us to transcend the limitations of walls, rooms, and buildings"

What better way to kick off #PrideMonth than celebrating the LGBTQIA community and the many contributions of leaders from across Greater Boston making change for a more equitable and inclusive Commonwealth?   Our team had a great time at the Boston Business Journal Business of Pride event last week, and we look forward to joining other festivities throughout the month (and year-round).    The event was also a reminder of how, each year, more companies are adopting communications (and marketing) campaigns to demonstrate allyship. The most successful of those are ones that reflect authentic actions to advance LGBTQIA priorities and celebrate team contributions. That's why we wanted to re-share these five things to keep in mind for successful campaigns that support LGBTQIA rights movements and promote self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of this community.   https://lnkd.in/e8HHGAXV
