Identifying the throughline among challenges creates the dynamic of “one hand lifting the other” and increases impact across them. This powerful story focuses on addressing the compounding effects of mental health and inequitable justice systems by standing up diversion programs.

[MSFT Accessibility @MSFTEnable]

Studies show people with mental illness are more likely to be arrested. On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re talking about shifting from enforcement to care with @MSFTEnable & @Microsoft Justice Reform partners @courtinnovation @PADatlanta @LEAD_Bureau

As an immigrant, I appreciate the opportunities this country has given me. Let’s support our Dreamers in chasing their dreams. #DACA

[Brad Smith @BradSmi]

Dreamers, including the 88 at Microsoft, make invaluable contributions to our country and society. As we mark the tenth anniversary of #DACA, we urge Congress to pass bipartisan legislation to provide permanent protection for our nation’s Dreamers.
