Re: What is DEI “NOW” Great piece Nicquel Terry Ellis wrote WHAT IS DEI and I would add from this from Diverse & Engaged DEI List “9 Things You Should Know About The Evolving State of DEI TODAY” eby Dee C. Marshall 1. DEI has expanded to a catch-all for all things pertaining to historically underrepresented groups, particularly Black people and LQBTQ+. 2. DEI is an umbrella reference to include efforts, initiatives, programs intended to course correct systemic racism and discrimination in the United States. 3. DEI has been politicized when the front runner of the anti-DEI movement began dismantling DEI programs funded by the government. 4. Anti-DEI is a movement primarily targeted against Black people beginning with a CRT battle to outlaw documented historical shame and stain on America from the Transatlantic Slave Trade that enslaved Africans for free labor to build the US including The White House (built by Slaves). #DEI #ANTIDEI #TeachableMoment

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day of profound significance in American history. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that the Civil War had ended and that all enslaved individuals were now free. This momentous occasion represents the triumph of freedom over oppression and serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and justice. At W Talent Solutions, we recognize the importance of Juneteenth and stand in solidarity with our Black colleagues, clients, and communities. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace where diversity is celebrated, voices are heard, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive. As we commemorate Juneteenth, let us reflect on the progress we have made and the work that still lies ahead. Together, we can build a future where every individual is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. #Juneteenth #Inclusion #Equality #Justice

🌟 Celebrating Juneteenth: Honoring Freedom and Empowerment 🌟 Today, we join the nation in celebrating Juneteenth, a day of profound historical significance commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and that enslaved African Americans were now free—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued. Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder of the progress we have made toward equality and justice, as well as a call to action to continue the fight against systemic racism and oppression. At Urban Infraconstruction, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where every individual feels valued and empowered to succeed.

By all means “Keep it moving”
As MLK Jr. said — “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But by all means keep moving.” Today, we celebrate him, along with the many women like his wife Coretta Scott King, who worked tirelessly by his side. Their work is a reminder of how the actions of a few can truly change the world. 💪

In April 1999, active BNP member David Copeland set off 3 nail-bombs: the first on 17 April in Brixton, targeting the Black community, the second on 24 April in Brick Lane, targeting the Bangladeshi community, and the third on 30 April in Soho, targeting the queer community. On this anniversary, we are reflecting on how little the far-right threat was taken seriously 20 years ago, and how much it is dismissed even today. It also shows how anti-Black, anti-Muslim and anti-queer stances are part and parcel of far-right ideologies. The far right continues to target anyone it sees as ‘Other’ or as a ‘threat’ to their values: from the homophobic protests outside drag queen story times, to the hate filled demonstrations outside hotels where sanctuary seekers have been placed, these events are all connected. At MRN, we know that #solidarity across movements is necessary if we are to fight back against the hateful rhetoric of the far right. Our movements must be intersectional if they are to succeed. #Intersectionality #MigrantJustice #RacialJustice #QueerLiberation

Today, we commemorate **Juneteenth**, marking the end of slavery in the U.S. On **June 19, 1865**, Union General Gordon Granger announced the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston, Texas, declaring freedom for enslaved people in the last Confederate state. This pivotal moment came two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the proclamation on January 1, 1863. Juneteenth, also known as **Emancipation Day** or **Freedom Day**, is a celebration of liberation and the ongoing pursuit of equality. It became a federal holiday in 2021, reflecting its significance in African American history and culture. Across the nation, communities honor this day with parades, festivals, educational events, and cultural activities, celebrating African American heritage and achievements. Let’s continue to celebrate freedom and reflect on the progress and challenges in the journey toward equality. #Juneteenth #EmancipationDay #FreedomDay #AfricanAmericanHeritage #Equality #Freedom
