We’re in a new era. Looking for “your part?” It’s an excellent time to renew our commitment to belonging in the workplace. You don’t need to be an HR pro or a consultant or a manager. You just need to care about fairness and belonging.

If half of the country hears the word “equity” and doesn’t associate that word with “fairness,” then we’ll talk about being fair. I’m happy to change my vocabulary so quickly, the pundits and pols don’t have time to mount a propaganda campaign. #Integration

It makes sense if the meaning of “racism,” “oppression,” “equity,” and “victimhood” are altered to fit a particular political ideology. That’s why the Headway team suggests that we not insist on using specific terms if those terms have been undermined or corrupted.

The National TPS Alliance and a group of Venezuelan TPS recipients have asked Chen to postpone the April 3 effective date of Noem's directive pending the outcome of their lawsuit.
They claim that Noem failed to follow the proper procedures to end TPS status and to adequately explain her decision, and that her move violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution because it was based on racial animus.
