Love these insightful tips from my friend Damon Maassen, CPTD to ensure our Pride month activities are authentic and have lasting impact for LGBTQ+ inclusion all year long. Have a read in the link below!

As LGBTQ+ Pride Month approaches in June, organizations have an opportunity to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community in meaningful and impactful ways. While changing a company logo to a rainbow during Pride Month is a visible sign of inclusion, it's crucial for organizations to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) throughout the year. This is especially important in light of the current legislative landscape, with a staggering 484 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced across the United States, according to the ACLU. These bills underscore the ongoing challenges and discrimination faced by the LGBTQ+ community, making it imperative for organizations to go beyond symbolic gestures and take concrete actions to create inclusive environments. In the first part of my blog post, I share strategies for ensuring that Pride Month celebrations are intersectional, diverse, and historically grounded. I then highlight the importance of ongoing inclusion efforts throughout the year, including strategies for education, policy review, advocacy, and more. Finally, I provide some incredible resources to support these efforts. It is a true privilege and pleasure to be part of the dynamic ModelExpand team. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my thoughts on this incredibly important topic. #InclusionMatters #DiversityAndInclusion #LGBTQAllyship #YearRoundPride #InclusiveWorkplace

Society's growing acceptance is helping people come out sooner. 3. There are still barriers and issues that need our attention. 💡 Why It Matters: It's important to understand these trends to create inclusive workplaces and communities.

🌈 Pride Month is almost here, and it’s a powerful reminder that Pride is not just a celebration, but also a protest. 🌈 Things are not looking great. While some countries made some positive steps towards LGBTQ+ inclusion, the UK continues to fall behind. As a queer femme, I am appalled and outraged by the continuous mistreatment of trans and non-binary people. Looking at hate crime stats but also day to day discrimination things are dire. While we, as workplaces and companies, get our rainbow flags out and prepare for the pride parades we attend, let's not forget to look inward. What do you do for your LGBTQ+ employees and customers all year around? Do you have learning initiatives that go deeper then just a glossy allyship session? Do you have policies and more importantly a culture that rejects all forms of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia? And lastly, how do you know? Working with over 90 clients in the past few years has showed me that most organisations do not have adequate feedback loops and monitoring iniatives. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Advocacy #Diversity #Inclusion #ImpactCulture #DEI #workplaceculture

🌈 Leaders, Your Role in Supporting Pride ERGs is Crucial 🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, it's vital to reflect on how we support our Pride Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). To help with this, Equality Leaders have designed a toolkit. Cultivating connection and growing community across ERGs, both internally and externally, is important if we are to enable impactful change across our organisations and meaningfully partner with LGBTQ+ communities. By bringing LGBTQ+ employee network leaders together to knowledge-share and build, we can create the support networks needed. This can help us better understand how each group are navigating their own change journeys and help create more inclusive environments where all LGBTQ+ employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
