Innovate Inclusion was created to ensure the world of tech can be inclusive for all; but we know all too well that the need for inclusion, equality and social justice is needed throughout all facets of society.
Racism and violence committed against members in our community shouldn’t be normalized. Supporting the diverse community we share it is everyone’s responsibility.
Although many are grieving, we must do more to acknowledge the systemic injustices faced by the Black, Indigenous and People of Color in our community.
Please take some time to share your voice, and make a difference by taking action. Only with collaboration from members of our community can we take steps to make changes. Below are a number of links to organizations and resources that can help you advocate for the success of underrepresented communities.
