🔔 Understanding and Remembering the Stonewall Riots 🌈 As we continue to champion diversity and inclusion in all aspects of life, it's crucial to remember pivotal moments in history that have shaped the fight for equality. Today, we reflect on the Stonewall Riots, a turning point in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. In June 1969, the Stonewall Inn in New York City became the epicenter of a powerful uprising. Sparked by a police raid, the patrons and the local LGBTQ+ community fought back against years of discrimination and oppression. This courageous stand marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, leading to the first Pride marches and the formation of numerous advocacy groups. As we reflect on this significant history, let’s recommit to fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can live and work without fear of discrimination. #StonewallRiots #Pride #LGBTQ #Diversity #Inclusion #ClinicalResearch

#HappyPride2024 from all of us InterInvest LGBT+ equality and inclusion - the first LGBTQ+ network dedicated to the asset management and savings industry in the U.K. As we celebrate Pride 2024, we at InterInvest stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. This month is not just a time for celebration but also a call to action. While we honor the progress we’ve made, we must acknowledge the ongoing threats to the laws that protect us. Our existence and rights are not confined to the month of June; we exist 365 days a year. It is crucial that we remain vigilant and proactive in advocating for change. This means recognising and addressing the issues that affect marginalized individuals within our community, including ageism, racism, lesbophobia, transphobia, and more. We are stronger together. Let’s embrace our differences, celebrate individuality, and actively fight to preserve our rights globally. By championing change, we can create a more inclusive and equitable world for all. Together, we can make a difference. Find out more at www.interinvest.org #StrongerTogether #Pride2024 #LGBTQ+Advocacy #CelebrateIndividuality #FightForChange

This June, I reread an article I wrote last year. Unfortunately, we’ve seen MORE legislative harm and attacks on the LGBTQ+ community over the passing year. It reminded me that the structures we create (in any environment) produce behaviors that serve that structure. As business leaders, we must be very intentional about the structures we create. Are we promoting inclusivity and acceptance? Or are we creating an environment that allows for or excuses exclusivity? The private sector can be a powerful channel to demonstrate what we stand for and demand when legislation fails us. 🏳️🌈 https://lnkd.in/eCTpyYvz
At COLAB, we kicked off Pride Month, celebrating the importance of acceptance and equality for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. Authenticity, one of our core values, reflects our commitment to embracing the true, multi-faceted self each of us has. We want everyone to feel comfortable showing up every day as their authentic selves, whether you work at or with COLAB. Last year, we wrote about the importance of inclusivity at COLAB.

In a world where inclusivity, equity, and belonging should be the cornerstones of our society, the journey towards achieving these ideals can be as enlightening as it is challenging. Recently, we had the privilege of hosting a keynote speaker panel with Kelley Robinson that delved deep into the critical aspects of LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion, an endeavor that is shaping the very fabric of our world. Through conversation, Lisette Arsuaga and Kelley Robinson, covered the importance of encapsulating community and security under the umbrella of intersectionality, especially for the LGBTQ+ community. As discussed, it is clear that recognizing intersections of identities helps us address the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals of color, transgender individuals, and those from marginalized communities. By embracing the principles of security, solidarity, and intersectionality, we can forge a path toward a more equitable and inclusive society, where LGBTQ+ rights are not just protected but celebrated as an integral part of our shared human experience. Thank you to Kelley Robinson, the president of Human Rights Campaign, for sharing the valuable insights and recommendations during the keynote speaker panel at the 2023 July Member Forum. #SeeALL **AIMM Members can rewatch the full session on the AIMM Hub or by signing into the event portal**

Pride Month 🌈❤️ Did you know, LGBTQ+ young people are twice as likely to experience loneliness compared to their non-LGBTQ+ peers (Just Like Us, 2021)? Following various COVID lockdowns, the Return to Play initiative encouraged many return to sports, however it was said that LGBTQ+ young people, still faced various barriers in returning. Physical group activities are effective in combating loneliness by reducing isolation and fostering meaningful social interactions (ukactive, 2018). We have been working on various projects over the last couple of years, to try and break down barriers that LGBTQ+ young people face in volleyball. This effort aims to reduce stigma, combat social isolation, and increase inclusivity within Volleyball and beyond, encouraging sports communities to prioritize and address loneliness ❤️ #LGBTQ #PrideMonth #Inclusive #Volleyball #VEF #VolleyballEnglandFoundation

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 This month, let’s celebrate the love, acceptance, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. From the Stonewall Riots in 1969, which sparked the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, to the legalization of same-sex marriage in many countries, the progress made over the decades is truly inspiring. We've seen significant strides in LGBTQ+ representation in media, politics, and various industries, highlighting the importance of visibility and acceptance. However, there is still much work to be done. Discrimination, violence, and unequal rights continue to affect many in the LGBTQ+ community. We must address issues like transgender rights, workplace discrimination, and healthcare access to ensure that everyone can live freely and authentically. Acceptance and tolerance are key to building a more inclusive world where everyone feels safe and valued. Let's keep pushing for equality and creating a brighter, more inclusive future for all. #PrideMonth #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality #LGBTQ+
