JND Legal Administration, support that is superficial is getting called out these days. Supporting the LGBTQ+ community requires more than making a post and supporting gay white men… you’ve still got to work on eliminating racism and sexism in your workplace before you can be any kind of positive ally. Yes, I know Jennifer Keough and Neil Zola (who has either removed his profile, or is a sexist and racist coward who blocked me) don’t care. However, Jen seems to care about her social media image and Neil seems to care about liability. A push on both could help towards change. Holding yourself to the standards of Seattle would help your social media image, reduce liability, and if done correctly, would increase both morale and productivity. There’s a reason most business people in Seattle see taking care of your employees as a no brainer, common sense approach. #JNDLegalAdministration #classactions #civilrights #toxicworkenviroment #seattle #LGBTQ+ #alphabetmafia #neilzola

Helsinki Pride was today 🌈 One of our values is UNIQUENESS and it means we celebrate the diversity of the community. Today we want to remind that pride is still a protest, not really a party. Pride is a protest rooted in the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights and visibility. It commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Riots, where queer individuals resisted police brutality and systemic oppression. Pride challenges ongoing discrimination and advocates for equality, inclusivity, and justice. It symbolizes resilience, celebrates diversity, and reminds the world that the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights is far from over. Pride is not just a celebration; it is a powerful statement of identity, resistance, and a call for societal change. How can you celebrate Pride with us? 👉 Suggest us speakers from the LGBTQIA+ community. 👉 Suggest ideas of topics we should have at next Crush event that include LGBTQIA+ perspective. 👉 How can we make you feel more welcome? #crushmovement
