Over the past month, our LGBTQ+ colleagues, friends, families, and allies participated in the Aberdeen and Houston pride parades! Our PRIDE employee resource group (ERG) sponsored the local Four Pillars charity and participated in the Aberdeen-area Grampian Pride® parade for the first time, and last weekend, local ERG members and supporters took part in the Houston Pride parade. ChampionX prioritizes the creation of safe environments where colleagues are respected, valued, and seen for who they are as individuals. Our PRIDE ERGs mission is to strengthen our inclusive culture, so everyone is valued and respected, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

A timely reminder (thanks Ivy (Ivanna) Lumia) of our panel dialogue on Wednesday exploring “The DEI Backlash”! Join the LinkedIn Live Serenity in Leadership event here: https://lnkd.in/ewEe7yM4 Is the Backlash real, how much damage is being done and how can we see this trend creatively and positively?
Pride is here! Are you at risk for rainbow washing?! Each year during Pride, companies modify their logo and merch with rainbow colours and images to demonstrate their support for the LGBTQ+ community. But are some of them just monetizing the rainbow? You might be familiar with green or blue washing, but another emerging issue in the ESG-universe to be aware of is rainbow washing—using rainbows in advertising or branding to indicate support for the LGBTQ+ community, but without providing that same support and advocacy for this marginalized group throughout the rest of the year. I had a chance to sit down with the legendary Rob Smith to discuss the critical importance of an organization’s governance of LGBTQ+ matters and what Boards can do to mitigate the risk of rainbow washing.

No Credit Union Left Behind | Passionate Advocate for Financial Empowerment | Data and Research Geek | CU Lover for Life | Purpose Chaser | Changemaker
Be an ally. Be Kind. We ALL have one thing in common, we are all human beings first. Yet, so many different people continue to experience discrimination for a multitude of reasons. Financial wellness in the LBGTQ+ community face unique challenges and setbacks-- we all deserve to have access to financial products and services in an equitable environment. The 2024 LGBTQ+ Financial Wellness Report's key findings are a rude awakening that there is much work to be done for better financial inclusion. *Roughly half (48.15) of LGBTQ+ adults say they are financially unwell, compared to one-quarter (25.7%) of the general public. Both BIPOC and younger (age 18-24) LGBTQ+ adults are even more likely to say they are financially unwell. *Three in ten (30.8%) LGBTQ+ adults say they have experienced discrimination while accessing financial services *Roughly half (48.15) of LGBTQ+ adults say they are financially unwell, compared to one-quarter (25.7%) of the general public. *Nearly 60% (59.7%) of LGTBQ+ adults have annual household incomes below $75,000. "The data underscore the need for our economic empowerment programs, especially for younger BIPOC LGBTQ+ folks. I hope the data are a call to action for organizations serving our community. Given what we know about who is struggling the most, these organizations have an opportunity to center BIPOC young adults by being culturally responsive, trauma informed, and offering voice and choice to young people.” Maruka Rivers, Director of Economic Empowerment Programs at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation How is your credit union being an ally? If not, reach out and get involved.

A 2019 article in the Harvard Business Review made the case that LGBTQ+ inclusion is good for the economy. As more businesses make this connection, they are stepping forward to make an economic case for non-discrimination protections and against discriminatory laws. Fast forward to Andrea Frank, a Door County resident and recent Canary Fund grant recipient who helped to develop a project in helping businesses show their support for and welcoming the LGBTQ+ community. The Pride Flag Initiative (from Open Door Pride) is designed to offer free pride flags to local businesses or organizations to fly outside of their business to show customers they are a supportive, welcoming, and inclusive place. The goal of our initiative is to have all businesses flying the flag and support the LGBTQIA+ community. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gpC6exH4 Do you have an idea for a project to make your community more welcoming? Our grant application window is open until July 31, 2024. Our application process is easy and could help support your idea with a seed grant between $1500-$5000. Check us out at www.thecanaryfund.org.

This June, I reread an article I wrote last year. Unfortunately, we’ve seen MORE legislative harm and attacks on the LGBTQ+ community over the passing year. It reminded me that the structures we create (in any environment) produce behaviors that serve that structure. As business leaders, we must be very intentional about the structures we create. Are we promoting inclusivity and acceptance? Or are we creating an environment that allows for or excuses exclusivity? The private sector can be a powerful channel to demonstrate what we stand for and demand when legislation fails us. 🏳️🌈 https://lnkd.in/eCTpyYvz
At COLAB, we kicked off Pride Month, celebrating the importance of acceptance and equality for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. Authenticity, one of our core values, reflects our commitment to embracing the true, multi-faceted self each of us has. We want everyone to feel comfortable showing up every day as their authentic selves, whether you work at or with COLAB. Last year, we wrote about the importance of inclusivity at COLAB. If you missed it, here it is: https://bit.ly/4caAv7Q We strongly encourage you to attend a pride event near you. It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our beautiful differences and show your support for the LGBTQ+ community. Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 #Pride #PrideMonth #DEI #Diversity #Inclusion

In the quest for equality and support, one stark reality often overlooked is the disproportionate underfunding of LGBTQ organizations. At The Trevor Project, we are acutely aware of this challenge, which a recent insightful article by my fabulous colleague, Tina M. Barber, MPA, in Philanthropy News Digest brilliantly brings to light. https://lnkd.in/gbsfHKaD This insightful piece sheds light on the challenges faced by organizations like ours and underscores the urgency for equitable funding. It's not just about maintaining operations – it's about expanding our reach to ensure that every LGBTQ+ young person who needs support can access it. I see every day how vital these services are and how much more we could achieve with increased support. As we continue our mission to provide crisis intervention and suicide prevention services, I invite our partners and the broader community to join us in this endeavor. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth. #LGBTQSupport #Philanthropy #TheTrevorProject #InclusiveFunding
