“Nobody cares that you're an LGBTQI+ ally.” In his latest PRWeek article, our Strategy Lead, Callum Jackson, challenges corporate LGBTQI+ communications, arguing that allyship requires more than just rainbow logos. As millions head to the polls today, this piece serves as a timely reminder to look beyond performative gestures and ask: Which candidates and corporations are genuinely committed to equality, not just chasing the rainbow vote?

Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate the resilience, strength, and beauty of our transgender community. Your existence is a testament to courage and authenticity. Visibility isn't easy in a cruel world. Everyone should have the freedom to feel safe to be visible. We stand in solidarity with those who may be facing discrimination, prejudice, or danger simply for being their true selves. Your journey is valid, and your safety is paramount, and for those we lost along the way, we won't forget you and will continue to fight in your honor. Visibility should be a choice, not an expectation. Whether you're out and proud or navigating your identity privately, your worth and dignity remain unchanged. As an org that prides itself on our social justice framework, we promise to continue standing in solidarity and fighting for a safer world for trans and gender-diverse people here and everywhere. Together, we can strive for a world where visibility is celebrated, and everyone can live authentically. 🌟 #TransDayOfVisibility #VisibilityMatters

If you do one thing today, listen to this. It's a harrowing re-account of Harriet Harman's life in politics - and the blatant misogyny and sexism she experienced throughout much of her career. I encourage any men connected with me on here to listen to this, and to really try and understand how Harriet's struggles embody the challenges and discrimination which many of the women in our own lives have experienced. It's an incredibly eye opening listen with a powerful message about how although equality is now the norm in conversations, there is still much change needed to make it a practical reality. As the end of this interview identifies - there is a danger that misogynistic role models are negatively influencing younger generations, so it's incumbent on all of us to challenge that and set better examples for young men.

In a world riddled with disparities and inequalities, World Day of Social Justice emerges as a beacon of hope, calling upon us to bridge the gaps that divide societies and foster alliances for a fairer, more equitable world. This year's theme, Bridging Gaps, Building Alliances, resonates deeply with the essence of social justice - the imperative to build bridges of understanding, empathy, and collaboration to address the myriad challenges facing humanity. Let us strive to bridge the gaps that divide us, reaching across divides of race, religion, nationality, and ideology to build alliances grounded in empathy, respect, and mutual understanding. In doing so, we honor the inherent dignity of every individual and lay the foundation for a future where justice, equality, and solidarity reign supreme. Together, let us embark on this journey towards a better world, where bridges are built, alliances are forged, and social justice is not merely a dream but a tangible reality for all. #WorldDayofSocialJustice #Equality #JusticeForAll
