#Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—and a reminder that justice delayed is still justice denied. We honor the resilience of those who waited years to learn of liberation. And we recommit to fighting for the freedoms still being denied today.

Do something nice for yourself this weekend.

Pride is around the corner. If you've gotten employees posting, "where's straight people's pride?" Have them circle the 4th of July. Inclusion is inclusion. Show up for your LGBTQ+ employees, family members and friends. I can help. Let's talk: www.kimclarkcommunications.com/contact-us

Federal election officials are suggesting states must pledge to follow President Donald Trump’s directive curbing diversity, equity and inclusion programs as a condition for receiving $15 million in election security funding.

Trump's EO calls for military and national security "assets" to be deployed on American streets to assist with law enforcement, and for the prosecution of local officials who talk about "DEI stuff" like the history of racist police violence. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

We're hospicing the old while giving birth to the new...at the same time. The status quo is fighting for its survival. That's what's happening. We need a bigger tent to let folks know there's room for them in a just and free society and they will be okay. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT27wBY4a/

Hosting a preview of my upcoming course, Navigating Anti-DEI Rhetoric: A Communications Crash Course to Avoid a Crash Out, tomorrow Wed April 2nd on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/events/navig... Class starts Friday April 4th: www.kimclarkcommunications.com/offers/GaQcD...

As Audre Lorde told us, “Your silence will not protect you.” The Center for Journalism & Democracy is hosting an evening of powerful dialogue about our eroding democratic and press freedoms with a powerhouse slate of speakers. Information is the currency of freedom. Join us.

The EEOC released how they are defining anti-DEI discrimination, admitting that DEI is still legal. www.linkedin.com/posts/david-...

Most organizations are in an identity crisis right now. Ben & Jerry's is not one. Ben & Jerry's has principles and their parent company has abandoned theirs. finance.yahoo.com/news/ben-jer...

Keep talking about it, connect the dots for folks. www.inc.com/jessica-stil...

This is circulating as one of the many ways to protest the new administration: On March 15th, mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses your opposition to him (use his own phrase, "You're fired", say he's a poor performer like he's said to fire federal workers illegally, etc.).

Should you "re-brand" your DEI work? No. One of (many) reasons that solely re-branding DEI–such as avoiding using the acronym, terms–as the only thing you change is not enough and it's not solving the problems you might think it does.

DEI isn’t some new idea—it’s shorthand for our civil rights & access to personal freedom - keys to America’s progress from the start. But Trump + the GOP want to dismiss liberty as a culture war. We can’t let them. Read my latest with @jenpsaki.msnbc.com for @msnbc.com: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Calling In: How to start making change with those you'd rather cancel. This is Loretta J Ross' new book. Everyone needs to get it, full stop.

"The best a company can do is examine both external and internal communications — and be prepared." “The worst thing that can happen to a company is: You’re still on that list, but you’ve lost all your good faith and credibility with folks on the other side of these issues.” I'm here to help.

This is not okay. If this happened at your org, what communications would be required? Look at what you can do to protect your people before this comes to your door. It will, it won't knock, it won't be polite, it won't be legal. Prepare & get ahead, communicators. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

#Communicators, join Lily Zheng and me Thursday live. Lily is the architect of FAIR - Fairness, Access, Inclusion and Representation, a tool for communicators. We have options on how we talk about DEI, we have opportunity, we have power. Now is the time to use it. www.linkedin.com/events/72925...

Makes all the crap over the last couple of weeks worth it when someone puts this in a chat during my workshop with their team. Yay you.

Lily Zheng has introduced the FAIR Framework - Fairness, Access, Inclusion and Representation, a leveled, self-evident evolution of DEI. I'm so grateful they brought me in to look at it from a #Communications perspective and add a quote. Grab it, use it at your org. hbr.org/2025/01/what...

Thousands of organizations understand DEI enough to know it's necessary to maintain and grow. For those organizations who can speak up, now is the time. Start another social media post frenzy stating your solidarity and commitment to DEI today. Time to take the DEI narrative back.

Federal DEI practitioners are to go on admin leave and shutting down their offices today. And corporations are to "follow the federal government's lead". This is what we've been preparing for. DEI is legal. #InternalCommunications #EmployeeCommunications #Communications #ExecutiveOrders #DEI
