#Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—and a reminder that justice delayed is still justice denied. We honor the resilience of those who waited years to learn of liberation. And we recommit to fighting for the freedoms still being denied today.

Federal election officials are suggesting states must pledge to follow President Donald Trump’s directive curbing diversity, equity and inclusion programs as a condition for receiving $15 million in election security funding.

Trump's EO calls for military and national security "assets" to be deployed on American streets to assist with law enforcement, and for the prosecution of local officials who talk about "DEI stuff" like the history of racist police violence. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

We're hospicing the old while giving birth to the new...at the same time. The status quo is fighting for its survival. That's what's happening. We need a bigger tent to let folks know there's room for them in a just and free society and they will be okay. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT27wBY4a/

This is circulating as one of the many ways to protest the new administration: On March 15th, mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses your opposition to him (use his own phrase, "You're fired", say he's a poor performer like he's said to fire federal workers illegally, etc.).

Should you "re-brand" your DEI work? No. One of (many) reasons that solely re-branding DEI–such as avoiding using the acronym, terms–as the only thing you change is not enough and it's not solving the problems you might think it does.

DEI isn’t some new idea—it’s shorthand for our civil rights & access to personal freedom - keys to America’s progress from the start. But Trump + the GOP want to dismiss liberty as a culture war. We can’t let them. Read my latest with @jenpsaki.msnbc.com for @msnbc.com: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

msnbc.com

The GOP wants to treat American values as culture war issues. We shouldn’t take the bait.

The pain and harm Trump causes is real and we should never diminish that, but we also can’t give him more credit than he’s due.

"The best a company can do is examine both external and internal communications — and be prepared." “The worst thing that can happen to a company is: You’re still on that list, but you’ve lost all your good faith and credibility with folks on the other side of these issues.” I'm here to help.

This is not okay. If this happened at your org, what communications would be required? Look at what you can do to protect your people before this comes to your door. It will, it won't knock, it won't be polite, it won't be legal. Prepare & get ahead, communicators. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Thousands of organizations understand DEI enough to know it's necessary to maintain and grow. For those organizations who can speak up, now is the time. Start another social media post frenzy stating your solidarity and commitment to DEI today. Time to take the DEI narrative back.

Federal DEI practitioners are to go on admin leave and shutting down their offices today. And corporations are to "follow the federal government's lead". This is what we've been preparing for. DEI is legal. #InternalCommunications #EmployeeCommunications #Communications #ExecutiveOrders #DEI
