Let's continue to have uncomfortable conversations, educate ourselves about other cultures, rebuild a broken system that's 400+ years in the making and hold each other accountable. Sign the #ActInSolidarity pledge. Our work continues. actinsolidarity.com/sign #PrimeTimePRchat

A7: Educate yourself about BIPOC culture and experiences. Talk to your BIPOC team members/friends/neighbors. Ask how you can help support them and racial justice issues. #PrimeTimePRchat

Great question, @JuliaAngelenPR . We really believe in finding or forming a network. There's power in numbers and for this issue to be tackled properly, we need to share best-practice amongst ourselves and present our collective voice in a unified way. #PrimeTimePRchat

A7: You deal with backlash on social media with honesty and transparency. We all know, you will never make everyone on social media happy and businesses have to be ok with it. #TwitterSmarter

A8: In the actions you make daily. In the businesses you support. In the charities you donate to.

Diversity is a broad term and if we are talking about what is happening as a response to the George Floyd murder, businesses have to acknowledge they have a RACE problem. Then the conversations and the healing begins. #twittersmarter

A5. Business owners must establish core values that support diversity and inclusion. After they are established, they must become infused in every touchpoint! #TwitterSmarter

Also, you can’t fix social issues overnight. You have to put a plan in place. Acknowledging you have a problem is the first step. #twittersmarter
Very important question! We have to learn how to communicate with each other about social issues, like race. The more we educate each other and hold each other accountable for making things right, businesses will move in the right direction. #TwitterSmarter

A5: Business owners need to strive for change, whether that’s hiring a more diverse staff, making sure everyone is treated fairly, etc. Put policies into place that represent the action you’ll be taking moving forward and stick with it. #TwitterSmarter

Love the phrase 'inviting conversations' - nothing gets done in a vacuum, and NOTHING gets done by arguing. -Chelsea #TwitterSmarter

A3: Speaking up about social justice issues is a personal journey and businesses should support and encourage their employees in anyway they can. We can all learn from one another and do better if lack of diversity is an issue. #TwitterSmarter
Q3: Should employees speak up for social justice issues even if their organization lacks that diversity? #TwitterSmarter

A2.
Educate yourself on a particular movement
Take action in your community
Share posts of others

A3. I think there are two issues here:
1. The fact that you may feel you can't speak up.
2. The fact that your company does not address such issues.
In both cases, you need to leave - it's a workplace against who you are.

A2: Share other voices, listen, be thoughtful, and proactive about the content you're sharing to ensure it's a helpful and a reliable resource. -Chelsea. #TwitterSmarter

Dropping some knowledge here! #TwitterSmarter
Social justice issues are now more pervasive than ever b4 in the workplace. Even if your employees aren’t openly talking about them, you can bet that many of them are likely thinking about them or are distracted or impacted by them.

Ignoring social justice issues that your workforce is dealing w/ outside of work can, in turn, affect productivity and morale in the workplace. Ignoring polarizing social justice issues can even increase unconscious biases that could wreak havoc on your culture. #TwitterSmarter
