Did you use @Glassdoor on your last job search? Do you think their recent change to let users analyze salary data based on race and gender will help promote equity, diversity, and inclusion in workplaces? #DEI #JobSearch #workculture @seattletimes

As #BlackHistoryMonth comes to a close, it was good to see this announcement about a new monument honoring Washington state’s first Black pioneer George Bush and his son, the state’s first Black lawmaker William Owen Bush. @seattlepi https://t.co/LalU3JBH0r

An interesting @NPR story where @AnnaDeavereS says that she hopes readers of "The Last of the Nice Negro Girls" will evaluate how to extend “radical hospitality” within their own institutions. What do you think that could look like in your career field?

Do you think #DEI webinars and other digital offerings will continue to be useful after the pandemic? Or do you think these types of conversations work better when people are in the room together? https://t.co/wuKNRqCntd

Fishel’s documentary looks at sexism in policing, but “What do we want people in a certain job to be able to do?” and “Who are the people who can actually do that?” are powerful questions for any profession. #EDI #gender

Removing financial and educational barriers helps more people get the skills they need to succeed in tech. Do you think there are barriers to entry that limit diversity in your own profession? What do you think could be done to remove those barriers? #EDI

We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us, but reading about how many Seattle businesses are starting to make changes to improve equity, diversity, and inclusion in their workplaces gives me hope. #DEI #Seattle @seattlebusiness

Amazon is the largest internet company in the world. We must continue to push them to do better in terms of who they consider for top positions, how they treat their workers, and how they respond to hate speech. https://t.co/LijZeL2XKv

It’s great that so many more companies want to start or improve their Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion initiatives. But they'll need to invest time, money, and energy to make them effective. Respect #EDI experts. #corporateculture #racialjustice

“Newly confirmed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will have to contend not only with a world of security threats and a massive military bureaucracy, but also with a challenge that hits closer to home: rooting out racism and extremism in the ranks.”

"In this moment made so dark by white nationalism and truth denial, Americans should look to these examples of young leaders with forward-thinking wisdom to carry us through, to show how our civil rights ancestors got things done.” — @IAmRichBenjamin

Today we celebrate the inauguration of President @JoeBiden & Vice President @KamalaHarris. That couldn’t have happened without the hard work of millions of people who volunteered, donated, and voted. Here’s to everyone who fought for a better future.

Part of serving the public effectively is understanding the very real concerns that different communities have based on historical and modern-day racism in the healthcare industry. #covid19 #PublicHealth

An interesting read from @NPR on what one woman is doing to make hiking (and its accompanying physical and mental health benefits) more accessible to Black women, despite the racism she’s faced along the way. #outdoors #BlackWomen https://t.co/glLno83yAk

One thing I love about Seattle is how we keep working for a better future. @RealChangeNews highlighted some businesses that chose to launch in 2020 despite the odds, including @coopersoptique, @coffeenorthwest, Friendship BBQ and The Missing Piece.
