Exactly 🙁

Amen

Women are not rehabilitation centers for poorly raised men...

Longtime #corporateresponsibility leader @Unilever commits to make all 70,000 of its products (with 2bn customers) biodegradable by 2030, and to disclose the amount of carbon used to produce them, as part of reaching net zero emissions by 2039. https://t.co/2FAAcRJjph

It's time to end the silence about our history of racial injustice in America. #Juneteenth https://t.co/AlNI2ZdCx6

Our vibrant, diverse workforce is our greatest asset, and our Dreamers are an essential part of our @EY_US family and culture of belonging. I’m hopeful this is the beginning of permanent protections for #DACA and Dreamers everywhere.

Transparency is the bedrock of some pretty important things: democracy, functioning capital markets, adult relationships. So this is ... what? It's almost as if there was something to hide.

[David Simon @AoDespair]

Oh shit. Looting has broken out in Washington.

[Deborah K. Holmes @DeborahKHolmes]

These actions are concrete and meaningful. Look forward to rolling up my sleeves with my colleagues.

[EY US @EY_US]

Systemic racism, discrimination and injustice against the Black community is a human rights crisis. It’s no longer enough to not be racist, we have to be visibly and vocally anti-racist. We vow to be a voice and a force for change. https://t.co/w1RRyM6PGS

I say this as a Jewish person who lost family in the camps. Trump holding a rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth is like holding a rally at the gates of Auschwitz on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

[Deborah K. Holmes @DeborahKHolmes]

Totally genius, completely customizable program for people talking with multinational, multi-ethnic family and friends (including those whose primary language is not English) about the protests and the fight for racial justice.

Breaking down white privilege, saying the names ... read the whole list.

[Michael Smith @msmithDC]

WHITE FRIENDS, NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOU TO BE SILENT. Now is not the time to talk about anything else if you have not actively spoken up and demonstrated solidarity with the Black community, which is in unbearable pain and grief...again. #BlackLivesMatter

"Forgive us if our work isn’t up to par, we just saw a lynching. Pardon us if we’re quiet in the Zoom meetings, we’re wondering if we’ll be the next hashtag."

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

It’s up to all of us—Black, white, everyone—no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own.

[Deborah K. Holmes @DeborahKHolmes]

Serious #corporateresponsibility allows no daylight between CR reports and corporate risk disclosures or media coverage. Too often, "when an issue is 'material' enough to threaten core operating models, companies ignore, evade, and equivocate." https://t.co/tUWFsDe1dc @qz

[Deborah K. Holmes @DeborahKHolmes]

This is super-deep on the topic of heterosexual, two-parent family life during a pandemic that turns out to cast a harsh light on gender relations (as on every other kind of social relations) in the US. https://t.co/H9TMfwZhHZ

[Deborah K. Holmes @DeborahKHolmes]

This is heartbreaking. Also devastating for the climate, given the huge differential between the environmental impacts of small family farming vs factory farming.

[Dan Barber @DanBarber]

We are on the brink of a farming catastrophe that will affect our relationship to good food for a generation. According to the monthlong survey we’ve just completed, 30 to 40 percent of the small, independent farms nationwide are facing bankruptcy. https://t.co/gX4yE03ZoB

[Deborah K. Holmes @DeborahKHolmes]

Through #CollegeMAP, @EY_US people in 37 US cities mentor underserved students to achieve the dream of college. In 7 years, we've awarded $3.5m in scholarships. Now, we've added just-in-time grants for Collegians facing emergencies and unexpected needs. https://t.co/GwP7ZmcCYd

[Deborah K. Holmes @DeborahKHolmes]

Once again, @Chobani embodies #corporateresponsibility: extreme generosity in the time of Covid-19. Donations to food banks, conversion of stores to food pantries, free consulting on supply chain, support for dairy farmers, participation in #NourishNewYork https://t.co/UzFixHStZ6
