LinkedIn Framily, Community voting is now open for SXSW 2025! The amazing Syia Lewis asked me to join Fawn Weaver and Marcus Bullock in a sure-to-be-dynamic conversation about how the lack of accountability in the workplace can circumvent justice and inclusion. How could I say no to possibly being on stage with THE FAWN WEAVER. While I don't purport to be a DEI specialist, I do have some thoughts I'd love to share. As some of you may have read in my previous posts, I received many calls about media-related DEI jobs after the murder of George Floyd. None of them felt right primarily because they didn't have success metrics, and what doesn't get measured, doesn't get done. I've also shared here how I prefer "belonging" over "DEI" because words matter. Check out the proposal for an honest discussion about accountability in DEI and the future of work after the dismantling of many DEI initiatives. In order for this conversation to be had at SXSW, the panel has to be in demand. So, please VOTE VOTE VOTE before the August 18 deadline - https://lnkd.in/gxYDvy6Q #sxsw #sxsw2025 #belongs #dibs #DEI #panelpicker #diversity #equity #inclusion

In censorship, the narratives often center on power dynamics—governments silencing dissent, corporations controlling narratives—but what about those without power? As lawyers, we must confront the reality that censorship disproportionately affects marginalized individuals and communities. The recent article by The Stranger (https://lnkd.in/gs2HEFb4) prompts us to delve deeper into this aspect of censorship and consider our role in advocating for those whose voices are suppressed. Censorship isn't just about the clash of ideologies; it's about the silencing of voices that lack societal influence or resources. It's about marginalizing perspectives that challenge the status quo. As legal professionals committed to justice, we cannot turn a blind eye to the plight of those who are systematically censored and marginalized. Consider the individuals who lack access to mainstream platforms, whose stories are drowned out by the cacophony of louder voices. Think about the communities whose struggles are conveniently overlooked or misrepresented. Our role as lawyers extends beyond the courtroom; it's about amplifying these voices, advocating for their rights, and challenging systems of oppression. When discussing censorship, we must acknowledge the nuanced ways it operates in society. It's not just about governments suppressing dissent or corporations controlling information flow—it's about the subtle ways in which marginalized voices are silenced and erased. Whether it's through systemic biases, economic disparities, or social exclusion, censorship takes on myriad forms for those without power. As legal practitioners, we must level the playing field. This means defending the rights of the marginalized to speak and ensuring that their voices are heard. It requires us to challenge the structures and systems perpetuating censorship and advocate for inclusivity and equity policies. Let's use our legal expertise to dismantle the barriers that prevent marginalized voices from being heard. Let's advocate for policies prioritizing diversity and representation in media and public discourse. And let's stand in solidarity with those silenced by censorship, amplifying their voices and advocating for their rights. As lawyers, it's our responsibility to ensure that justice is accessible to all, regardless of their position in society. #Censorship #SocialJustice #MarginalizedVoices #LegalAdvocacy #Equality #freepalestine #palestinegenocide #palestinians

In a world often clouded by skepticism, Eleanor Kennedy of the Open Society Foundations brings a beam of optimism to the dialogue on human rights. 🌍✨ Last year's groundbreaking report by OSF, "Can Democracy Deliver?" cuts through the noise, challenging the defeatist narrative that human rights are a relic of the past. Kennedy's insightful analysis reveals a different truth: the heart of human rights still beats strong among those who strive for justice worldwide. 📈📜 It's refreshing to hear that, contrary to the whispers of pessimists, the demise of human rights is not just exaggerated—it's a myth. People from every corner of the globe are actively engaging with the structures and tools of human rights to claim their due, seek justice, and shape societies that respect the dignity of all. ⚖️🤝 📢 Join us for an invigorating discussion with Eleanor Kennedy in the new podcast series of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights "Voices of Dignity : Pathways to justice with Eleanor Kennedy," as we delve into how human rights continue to empower communities and individuals, proving that the principles of equality and fairness are very much alive and at work.
