We had an amazing time celebrating diversity, inclusion and allyship in June! 🏳️🌈 Our Rainbow Business Employee Resource Group hosted events throughout the month to address LGBTQIA issues and discuss the powerful impacts of allyship and advocacy. And we had a lot of fun showing our PRIDE in marches and parades! #WorkivaLife

As we have officially ended June, it is important to acknowledge that Pride is each and every day. 🌈 Our LGBTQIA community is truly an intersectional community. It is filled with all races, ethnicities, disabilities, neurodiversity, faiths, and so much more. As a result of all of these intersections, there are massive impacts on what is currently happening politically in our country. We cannot ignore or separate these intersections, making the advocacy for ALL. 🌈 We all need to be making Pride a part of our every day experience. It may feel hard to figure out how to do this...there are so many of us out there that can help! ➡ Have your Safe Space, Rainbow, or Ally stickers out all year ➡ Follow all of the impacts on the community throughout the year ➡ Take steps of action - voting, writing your legislators, hosting supports, and so much more - throughout the year ➡ Ally's, remember that the LGBTQIA community can't stop thinking about these things or creating safety around them...to be a true ally, that is an important part for you to do as well. ➡ Address phobic rhetoric, statements, phobic organizations, and organizations that are performative allyship. 🌈 We CAN make change. We CAN stop these harmful experiences. WE CAN'T do that alone. 🌈 Let's make Pride an every day experience. #Pride #PrideMonth #PrideIsAllYear #PrideIsEveryday #StrengthInPride #InThisTogether #WeCantDoThisAlone #Ally #Community #MakingChange #Advocating #Activism #Advocacy #MTS #MaveriqueTherapeuticServices

All in a day's work - I wrote up some thoughts on how businesses need to step up to support their employees who are trans for INvolve - The Inclusion People. As trans people navigating the professional world, we often find ourselves walking on eggshells, never quite sure how well our employers understand our needs or how much support we can access before we're made to feel like we're "pushing it". To combat this, businesses need to take a proactive approach to trans inclusion with added sensitivity to the needs of disabled, neurodivergent, immigrant, and non-white trans people. If you'd like to chat further, feel free to reach out!
How are you actively driving change for Trans employees? 🏳️⚧️ 💡 If you're unsure where to start, here are some practical tips from INvolve's Advisory Manager Coda Galabov on how your organization can become more trans-inclusive, all year round. We'd love to hear your goals and commitments to drive positive, and tangible action for change this #TransAwarenessWeek! Let us know in the comments. Get in touch with us at [email protected] to find out how we can support your business in creating trans-inclusive workplaces. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransInclusion #DEI #LGBTQInclusion #Diversityandinclusion #TransRights #Allyship #Advocacy

At North West Rubber, we believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected. This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the LGBTQIA2 community and reaffirming our commitment to our core value: respect for all. While Pride Month is a time for celebration, it is also an opportunity to reflect on the ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQIA2 community. Despite significant progress, many individuals still encounter discrimination, violence, and legal inequalities. In many parts of the world, LGBTQIA2 people continue to fight for basic human rights and acceptance. Advocacy is a crucial component of Pride Month. It serves as a reminder that the fight for equality is far from over. From supporting LGBTQIA2 organizations to participating in advocacy efforts, everyone can play a role in promoting equality and justice. Today, we speak out to show our support, spread awareness, and advocate for those whose voices are not heard. #PrideMonth #RespectForAll #Inclusion #Diversity #LoveIsLove

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, it's important to bring awareness to the challenges faced by the LGBTQIA community. Many individuals find themselves in situations and workplaces where they aren't sure if they will be welcomed, accepted, or even safe. This month serves as a reminder that our support and advocacy should extend beyond these 30 days and be part of our everyday lives. I love seeing the rainbow logos everywhere - it brings me hope. But Pride Month isn't just about one month of recognition. It’s about showing continuous support and being active allies. It's about fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of their identity, feels safe and valued. It's essential to amplify voices across the LGBTQIA spectrum and work towards a future where everyone can live authentically without fear. Let's use this month to educate, support each other, and build inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive. 🏳️🌈💪 #PrideMonth #Inclusion #Advocacy

National Recovery Month, which started in 1989, is a national observance held every September to promote and support new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the nation’s strong and proud recovery community, and the dedication of service providers and communities who make recovery in all its forms possible. PRIDE represents the LGBTQIA community members who gather to celebrate their experiences, support one another, and advocate for equal rights and opportunities. Over the past two decades, much progress has been made in promoting LGBTQIA rights and acceptance. However, LGBTQIA people continue to cope with stigma and discrimination. Finding safe spaces where LGBTQIA people are not only accepted but also celebrated is important for members of this community. At our R.O.S.S. Gadsden Recovery Community Center, individuals come and go as they like and choose to either attend a support group, engage in social activities, fill out online job applications, or help to build their resume. R.O.S.S. is a safe, supportive, and fun environment for the people we serve to be in. If someone doesn’t have a place to go for the holidays or to watch a game, they can come to R.O.S.S. and share a meal. #WeAreThePeopleWeServe #lovingpeopletoabetterlife #RecoveryMonth #Recovery #RecoveryinGadsden
