"Sustained work is necessary for sustained change."
I'm feeling grateful for @eric_ratinoff, @kirabanks, @adelaidenyc, & Jamaal Downey as the board of @ACLUofMichigan embarks on a series of EDIB modules with @Mouse_Elephant. Also to my board colleagues for embracing this work.

Only 4 articles in, but really appreciating the "This is What Racism Looks Like" series from @SSIReview. Provides a clear-eyed look at how racism continues to show up in the workplace, and its destructive effects on people and organizations.

Paid leave is an ECONOMIC policy; care policy is economic policy. Without it, millions of workers cannot add their talent, innovation, and hard work to the economy.
Happening now! Thank you @RepDannyDavis for giving voice to working families' struggles with #paidleave and #childcare and the detrimental impact that this has on the U.S. economy.
We're leaving $2.4 trillion in GDP on the table.

I sat down with @WUSTLGephardt for their podcast “This Civic Moment.” We talked Critical Race Theory, racial identity, and mental health. How are you engaging in this moment? gephardtinstitute.wustl.edu/…

A gentle reminder that many/most of your BIPOC colleagues have been asked to take on huge amounts of often uncompensated labour, this year especially, and that much of that work is already in danger of being erased, invisibilised, devalued and/or co-opted.

I remember saying in a talk once:
“Bad intentions aren’t a prerequisite for something to be considered a #microaggression.”
Funny how our own words and lessons can come back to tap us on the shoulder.

New article on using cognitive defusion to interrupt the lies of racism tells us about ourselves. Ending oppression would be the best solution, but in the meantime, this information is promising. Link in the thread if you want to take part in the research. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

While the #MeToo movement continues to call out sexual predators for past abuses and holds them accountable, psychology professor @kirabanks asks how we might apply these lessons to #BlackLivesMatter . Oppression affects us all. How can we intervene? youtu.be/xpacTiEw4G4

A new study found that giving low-income workers money upfront in their work period helped alleviate the mental burden of their financial problems and allowed them to be more productive — echoing other findings on the psychological impacts of poverty.

.@CechErin and @Tom_Waidzunas led the largest ever research survey on the experiences of LGBTQ+ scientists. The results paint a picture of widespread bias, discrimination, mistreatment and harassment - esp for women and POC. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
