“Racial justice for people in a hurry” 🔥

👀 Tech friends - I love you, but we really gotta step up. ⚖️ It's been high time since we've done our part to create racial justice. The gap between the tech world and the greater community, especially in places like San Francisco and the Silicon Valley, seem to be ever-widening, as with inequalities within our industry itself. ⌛️ We can't solve it overnight, but we can't delay taking our commitment seriously. We must harness the momentum we've seen with the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement and put it into action, especially when we have so much power and resources to do so. 🤑 That's why our team is working with Denese to launch Action Abridged. As we summarize the 10 books listed, we'll also list specific non-profits you and your company can partner with, tips for ERGs and coaching, policy measures you can support, and more. **Proceeds from each $5 summary will go to Color of Change**, so you create an impact just by subscribing. We're making it easy by bringing the experts straight to you! I really hope you join us and share this post so we can get our tech community to rally behind one of the most critical issues of our generation. We have the resources to create systemic, sustainable change - we just need to work up to it. We need to commit to it, and here's a small step in that direction. You can find out more details here. We have some free stuff for you too! www.soapboxproject.org/actionabr...
