This Pride Month we want to spotlight two of our LGBTQ+ employee resource groups (ERGs), Georgia Power Company's PRIDE Power and Southern Company Gas' Spectrum (GAS). The two ERGs united as one team in a recent community service project for CHRIS 180. The organization is Georgia's first and largest nonprofit organization that openly celebrates and serves LGBTQ+ youth. Learn how this project is a reflection of our values at Southern Company: https://lnkd.in/eaEYGb7X

Thanks for helping reveal our 2024 PRIDE vehicles today François Dossa. It genuinely gives me great pride to work for a company that provides support for diversity networks such as ours, and has such visibility in it’s leadership. Working with Fei Gu as Co-lead for creative within the JLR PRIDE network, we’ve worked hard on designing the vehicle liveries for our 2024 pride season. We've had a number of great designs for pride vehicles in the past, but one consistent piece of feedback we had from people in our PRIDE network was that they wanted to see more colour! As a community we are bright & diverse, the pride progress flag represents that, and so we wanted to include all colours of the progress flag to represent all members of the LGBTQ+ community. In this election year, there is already a great amount of noise over LGBT+ rights and issues being debated in public - Trans rights & healthcare, a ban on conversion therapy, relationship & sexual health education in schools to name a few. It is important to acknowledge the noise that has created and what it can do to our mental health to have our rights and existence up for debate. As a network and a community, we need to support each other and cut through all of the noise, and we also need to engage with allies to help us do that. As proud creators of modern luxury, we should feel emboldened to show our colours, and proud to stand and be visible. We certainly believe this year's PRIDE vehicles are visible! And we hope you do too. (Also found 5 mins to throw together a REAL quick animation)
At JLR, PRIDE is something we commit to all year round through our policies and culture rather than only one day or one month, but PRIDE month is about raising awareness and celebrating the inclusion of LGBT+ communities and allies. Today, I was privileged to unveil the Defender and Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles that will form part of our PRIDE fleet, joining our colleagues who will be proudly marching in parades across the globe, in Birmingham and London, all the way to Portland and New York. These parades honour the Stonewall riots, which were a historical catalyst in changing attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people, campaigning for equal rights, and fighting homophobia. They look amazing and I’d like to say a huge thank you to our creative colleagues at JLR, Fei Gu and Louis Gospel for their roles in this years designs which feature the colours of the PRIDE progress flag to represent of all aspects of our diverse community. So, as we stand tall this PRIDE month as allies of LGBTQ+ people, let’s remember that PRIDE plays such an important part in our history, and let’s strive to promote a world where we champion acceptance and safe spaces for all. #PRIDE #Inclusion
