@DinoRino09 @LAinsidernow Yep. It's called SF 311.

[Jon Shafran (he/him) @jonshafran]

@Shenanigans_ATL @SFMTA_Muni Yeah. I expect it to take years before they actually build anything permanent that can't be easily destroyed.

As someone who absolutely adores everything Halloween and is interested in all the ways we can make it a more inclusive holiday, I'm delighted to see Target selling costumes designed for kids who use wheelchairs.

This is truly reprehensible proposed legislation aimed at surveilling and restricting the human rights of children. I don't even have words for how heinous these bills are.

[Lawrence Hurley @lawrencehurley]

A North Carolina bill would "compel state employees to immediately notify parents in writing if their child displays “gender nonconformity” or expresses a desire to be treated in a way that is incompatible with the gender they were assigned at birth"

Banning books about our historical and existing white supremacy and racism in the U.S. is exactly how you ensure that it's perpetuated indefinitely. Every organization and every American should be equipped to understand and work to eliminate our very real systemic inequalities.

[Katherine Adam @adamkatherine]

This recent Vanity Fair profile where AOC discusses the death threats she and other women of color in Congress regularly receive from white supremacist men I think is important context for white people as we reflect on the dangers of today’s events. https://t.co/mo2kdtspTy

Warnock delivering remarks virtually: "The other day, because this is America, the 82 year old hands that used to pick somebody else's cotton went to the polls and picked her youngest son to be a United States senator."

Seeing this with many clients that have shifted to remote work. If we aren't intentional about creating inclusive and equitable norms/processes for working hours, patterns of over-work and burnout are guaranteed to be exacerbated in this new context. https://t.co/j6coaBJCtZ

Words matter. Ensuring gender neutrality in the naming of professions takes almost zero effort. A woman who is a scientist is called a scientist. Done. #genderequality

Training is learning; it doesn't directly address institutional inequalities in and of itself. What are the steps you're taking in your organization to ensure that inequalities aren't woven into the very fabric of how it operates?

Failure is not the opposite of success; it’s part of the journey. If you feel safe doing so, share a past “failure” and what you learned from it. This lets your team members know that you are working to improve as a leader or team member and are committed to supporting growth.
