"I came to movement work from a more corporate background. Joining a Black women-led organization with colleagues who are all really in this fight, who are all really doing deeply intentional organizing work day in and day out to break the isolation of women with incarcerated loved ones felt… right, and like I was finally walking in my purpose. At Essie I get to contribute to creating a world where our people and communities are free from criminalization and where solutions rooted in safety and healing are the norm. Whether I’m helping organize our Black Mama’s Bail Outs or developing strategic communications materials that amplify our narrative positions and messaging goals of our campaigns and base-building work, I get to use my skills in purpose-rooted ways on a daily basis. It’s inspiring to be in such deep strategy and collaboration with a staff team and membership body of system-impacted people who are all working hard to make change happen." — Tanasia, Senior Communications Manager 🧡 Ready for a career that makes an impact? Essie is hiring! Join Black and brown women and gender nonconforming people with ambitious goals to end mass incarceration’s harm, to develop the leadership of those who are closest to the problem and hold the solutions.

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, this week’s spotlight is on our amazing grantee, LeadersUp! LeadersUp aims to change the narrative around the racial wealth gap by collaborating with companies and organizations to create equal opportunities for young diverse talent in America, and designs services to tackle systemic barriers faced by young professionals of color. Among their many impactful initiatives, some of their powerful work includes: • Breaking barriers to access opportunity – LeadersUp’s cross-sectoral Bay Area partnership was forged to ignite local employers, and generate transformative career pathways for young men of color and employers. • Accelerating fair chance hiring – The USC Sol Price Center for Social Innovation partnered with LeadersUp to launch the #AcceleratingFairChance Project, addressing unemployment among young people who have been involved in the justice system by identifying employer-led solutions. • Engaging in strategic partnerships – LeadersUp has partnered with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity to establish a coalition of employers committed to hiring system-impacted individuals and demonstrating their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through their recruitment and retention practices. Learn more about LeadersUp and how you can support them today at leadersup.org.

Juneteenth is an important day in American history—and it’s becoming more and more widely celebrated in the workplace by many employers, including the federal government. How can your company recognize Juneteenth and celebrate it in a way that’s authentic, inclusive, and supportive of your broader diversity efforts?

In celebration of Pride Month, we want to share how important it is to be an ally to the 2SLGBTQI+ community and champion diversity in the workplace. Recently, we hosted a great discussion with some of our employees about what it means to be an ally and how we can support a culture of understanding, belonging, inclusivity, and allyship. Here are some insights that came from the discussion: ➡️ Actively listen and learn about the whole person. How they identify is only one part of who they are so take the time to get to know them. ➡️ Take the time to build your knowledge and awareness about people who are different from you. ➡️ Take the time to acknowledge your biases and how they may be affecting your actions. ➡️ Stand up and address situations when others are saying things that aren’t supportive of others. ➡️ Be brave and have the confidence to support your peers On behalf of eSentire, Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈

It's better when we're together, don't you think? 🤝 Call it an anxious attachment if you want. We call it prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. We recently established a dedicated internal committee and an informational page on our website to showcase our commitment to creating an inclusive work environment. And it's not just for show. We're doing the work. ✊🏾 Our committee meets monthly to tackle issues important to our workforce, such as: 🎄 Inclusive holiday policies ✍🏽 Crafting public statements about current news 🤸🏿♀️ Creating safe spaces for employees to share their cultures, traditions, struggles, wins, and more. Our DEI efforts also extend to our marketing strategies, ensuring that our clients' messaging resonates with a broad and diverse audience.

Lincoln friends, please come out to the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce this morning for #TheCircle. #DEI We are a community of people involved in designing, organizing, supporting, and leading Organizational Diversity and Inclusion efforts in and around Lincoln. We believe strongly in the power and the importance of Diversity and Inclusion, for our organizations and for our community. We meet to support each other, share resources and information, and to move this work forward. We meet on the 1st Friday of each month from 9:00 - 10:30am and we try to do three things with our meetings: 1. We try to make it easy for folks doing this work to find and connect with other folks doing this work. 2. We try to learn from what local organizations are doing and have done relative to Diversity and Inclusion. 3. We try to help each other get better, by sharing our experiences and expertise. 4. We try to love and support each other.

Reflection Week 4 During Week 4 of the DIFW RSM course, my group had their first interview with Tessa Mertens from Erasmus Verbindt. The discussion covered a wide range of topics related to the company's initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion, providing insightful information about both the difficulties and achievements encountered.   During our conversation, she recounted a job interview in which a person of colour asked about the organisation's diversity. Tessa's remark, which exposed the core team's lack of diversity, emphasised how vital representation is, as the interviewee did not want to work in an organisation with only white employees. It demonstrated how people look for environments where they feel seen and represented.   This conversation highlighted the importance of diversity that goes beyond just numbers. It reaffirmed the idea that representation is important for creating a sense of understanding and belonging among team members.
