Though Pride Month is meant to be a celebratory month, we would be remiss if we didn't hold space for the constant threats to BIPOC queer lives in this country and in our sport. With that said, awareness is not enough–we need action! Here's a list of some actionable items you can take: 📌 Ask questions, and do your own research. 📌 Recognize your privilege and use it for good. 📌 Take your online activism into real-life scenarios. 📌 Speak up for the underrepresented. 📌 Follow the lead of your LGBTQIA+ peers and organizations. We also encourage you to take time to facilitate meaningful conversations about making the running industry and run communities safer and more inclusive for BIPOC queer runners. And, check out this RIDC blog post that highlights historic LGBTQIA+ figures. ➡️ https://loom.ly/pw1fX4I #PrideMonth #Running4Diversity

We can't help but see comments on social media protesting the need for Pride month, or the focus it gets throughout June. Here are just a few statistics that cannot be ignored: 😓 64% of LGBT+ people have experienced violence or abuse 🏳️🌈 88% of transgender people do not report hate crimes they experience 👥 35% of LGBT employees have hidden their sexuality or identity at work for fear of discrimination 😰 41% of employees who identify as transgender, non-binary or another gender have experienced bullying, discrimination or harassment at work (from our own research) Acknowledging this data isn't about detracting from any of the other issues your organisation is facing, it's about creating change where change is needed. In this webinar Kenya Peters and Vicki Baars sat down to discuss what pride month Should and Should Not look like. Let us know your thoughts https://lnkd.in/ecXDqUeA

As we celebrate #PrideMonth, it's essential to remember that being an ally doesn't end when June does. True allyship means standing with the LGBTQIA+ community year-round, advocating for equality, and fostering inclusive environments where everyone feels valued and respected. Here are a few ways to practice allyship all year long: +Listen and Learn: Hear the stories and experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Understanding their perspectives can help us become better allies. +Speak Up: Challenge discriminatory remarks or actions, whether in the workplace or elsewhere. Silence can be interpreted as acceptance. +Support LGBTQIA+ Organizations: Volunteer your time or donate to causes that advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and well-being. +Create Inclusive Spaces: Whether at work, home, or in social settings, strive to create environments where everyone feels safe and included. Let's make allyship more than just a moment—let's make it a movement! #Allyship #Pride2024 #EqualityForAll #InclusionMatters #LGBTQ #LGBT #LGBTQIA2+

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that marks the emancipation of the last enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. This day is a profound reminder of the enduring struggle for freedom and equality, and the resilience and strength of the Black community. Juneteenth is not just a day to celebrate, but also a call to action. It's an opportunity for us to recommit to fostering inclusivity, combating racial injustice, and creating equitable opportunities for all. Let's honor the legacy of Juneteenth by advocating for change, supporting diverse voices, and building a future where freedom and equality are truly universal. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality #Inclusion #Diversity

🌟 Reflecting on Juneteenth: Celebrating Freedom and Progress 🌟 Although Juneteenth has passed, its significance and the lessons it teaches remain ever-present. As we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States, we are reminded of the resilience, strength, and perseverance of those who fought for freedom and justice. For many, including myself as a proud member of the minority community, Juneteenth is not just a historical milestone but a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey toward equality and inclusivity. It is a day to honor the past, celebrate our progress, and renew our commitment to a more just and equitable future. Let us continue to: Educate ourselves and others about the history and importance of Juneteenth. Celebrate the achievements and contributions of Black individuals and communities. Advocate for policies and practices that promote racial equity and social justice. Reflect on how we can contribute to creating a more inclusive world in our personal and professional lives. Together, we can build on the legacy of Juneteenth and ensure that the principles of freedom and equality are upheld for all. 🔗 #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality #SocialJustice #Inclusion #Diversity
