My friend John Lewis is surely smiling down on his beloved Georgia this morning, as people across the state carried forward the baton that he and so many others passed down to them.

Let’s get to work. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv

I know the past few months have been hard and dispiriting. But watching the heightened activism of young people makes me hopeful. And if we can keep channeling our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective action, this can be the moment when real change starts.

4. So if we want to bring about real change, the choice isn’t between protest and politics––we have to do both. We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

5. The more specific we can make demands for criminal justice and police reform, the harder it will be for elected officials to just offer lip service to the cause and then fall back into business as usual once protests have gone away.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

3. To do that, we have to know which levels of government have the biggest impact. Changing the federal government is important. But the elected officials who matter most in reforming police departments and the criminal justice system work at the state and local levels.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

2. The point of protest is to raise public awareness, to put a spotlight on injustice, and to make the powers that be uncomfortable. But eventually, we have to translate those aspirations into specific laws and institutional practices.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

1. The protests represent a genuine and legitimate frustration over a decades-long failure to reform police practices and the broader criminal justice system. We should condemn the few who resort to violence––not the overwhelming majority who deserve our respect and support.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Ultimately, it’s going to be up to a new generation of activists to shape strategies that best fit the times. But I want to highlight some basic lessons from past efforts that are worth remembering:

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, I’ve heard many ask how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

My statement on the death of George Floyd:

[Muriel Pénicaud @murielpenicaud]

Les disparités de #salaires et carrières femmes/hommes sont insupportables. C’est pourquoi nous avons mis en place l’Index #egapro ♀️♂️. J’appelle toutes et tous à s’emparer de cet Index et à se mobiliser pour faire de l’#egapro une réalité. Ensemble, faisons bouger les lignes !

[Elisabeth Richard @elisabeth_rchrd]

L’index de l’égalité salariale change déjà la vie des femmes !» On ne progresse que si on mesure ! Un Immense merci à @murielpenicaud qui se bat pour que les femmes puissent arriver à une véritable égalité salariale. #EgaliteHF @le_Parisien @gaudartval

Today is #InternationalWomensDay.
#GenderEquality is not only a matter of #equity, it's also a matter of performance.
To be successful, companies must reflect the diversity of theirs customers and the society they serve.
