Braze’s Post

Want to increase the impact of your company's charitable giving? Get your staff involved. Involving Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) in philanthropic giving empowers staff to make impactful, community-centered grants to organizations they're passionate about. Braze, a Tides partner and Pledge 1% member, is setting an example with their ERG Grant Program which has allocated $300,000 in unrestricted grants over the past year to organizations including The Ali Forney Center, Stand with Asian Americans, Black Girl Ventures, GreenLatinos, Every Mother Counts, Ipas, the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), and many more.

I hope you’ll consider supporting this brilliant person and important cause. Per the 2021 GLSEN National School Climate Survey: “LGBTQ Youth need support now more than ever. • 83% of LGBTQ students have experienced harassment or assault • More than 650 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced in 2023 • 32% of LGBTQ students missed at least 1 day of school in the prior month because they felt unsafe • 2 in 5 LGBTQ students of color experience victimization at school because of their race/ethnicity and their LGBTQ identities • 6 in 10 transgender students were prevented from using school facilities that align with their gender identity” Linked from: https://lnkd.in/ePk2RmAw Congratulations, Mateo, and thank you for your advocacy. #philanthropy #LGBTQ #inclusion #education #fundraising #GLSEN #equity #belonging #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQRights #HumanRights #YouAreNotAlone

At Piikup, our commitment to sustainability goes hand in hand with our dedication to empower and strengthen communities. As we strive to expand the green jobs sector, we recognize the unique challenges faced by multi groups and are actively working towards solutions that ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate in this vital industry especially those Black and LGBTQ people who aren't visible in the space. People that are often overlooked lack access to education and training: Many Black adults and youth face barriers in accessing the necessary education and training for green jobs. This lack of access shows up with in school youth and adults as limited access to STEM programs and sustainable technologies remain an issue. Education and Training Programs uplift as we are partnering with community organizations to create accessible training programs focused on green technologies and sustainability practices. We aim to reduce economic barriers and provide more opportunities for Black individuals to pursue careers in the green sector. We are committed to breaking down barriers and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Join us in this mission to make the green industry a place of opportunity and growth for all by donating to Piikup via our fiscal sponsor https://lnkd.in/gz4PUkCQ by writing Piikup GREEN JOBS in the subject. #GreenJobs #Sustainability #DiversityAndInclusion #InclusiveEmployment #BlackProfessionals #EcoFriendly #CommunityImpact #SustainableFuture

Love sharing this update --this week we launched the Take Action Center on Tinder, powered by Vote.org. It's more important than ever to provide Tinder users with the tools they need to make informed decisions and take action. Annnnd to make voting HOT. 44% of single voters under 36 are on dating apps, and we know they are a powerful force for change. Through the Take Action Center, we’re making it super easy for young voters to register, find polling locations, and get essential voting information—all within Tinder. This is about more than just voting; it’s about empowering people to protect their rights and shape the future. At Tinder, we believe that protecting reproductive rights and LGBTQ is deeply connected to how we navigate relationships and build our lives. That’s why we’re committed to helping our community stay informed and take meaningful action. #TakeActionCenter #Vote2024 #TinderForChange #YoungVoters #Empowerment #Democracy

Pride in London, one of the UK's largest LGBTQ celebrations, is taking a strong stance against "rainbow washing" for its upcoming 2024 parade. What's "rainbow washing," you ask? It's when companies use rainbow colors and LGBTQ symbols for marketing purposes, often during Pride month, without demonstrating a genuine commitment to the community and its ongoing struggles. This year, Pride in London is raising the bar for brands seeking to participate in the parade. They're emphasizing the need for companies to go beyond superficial gestures and demonstrate year-round support for the LGBTQ community. This includes: ➡ Active engagement with LGBTQ causes and advocacy groups. ➡ Promoting inclusivity within their workplaces and fighting for LGBTQ rights. ➡ Taking concrete actions to support the community, not just during Pride. While this approach might discourage some brands from participating, it ensures that the parade remains a genuine celebration of the LGBTQ community and its allies, rather than a platform for opportunistic marketing. 🤔 What are your thoughts on this approach? Share your opinions in the comments below! Pride in London: https://lnkd.in/eU2RNc-R
