Finally got around to reading the 2023 TIPs Report. I wanted to share this because the "victims identified" number never ceases to amaze me. We've successfully found 115,324 more human beings who are victims of trafficking. I say "more" because these are new victims identified in 2022, a significant portion of previously identified victims refuse or are otherwise unable to leave their trafficking situation (and just because someone refuses to leave doesn't mean they're not a victim, they could be a caregiver for an innocent baby, their family could be placed in significant danger etc.) The thing that always floors me is that this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are so many victims out there we don't have any insight into, some of these cases. Sadly some of these cases are state sponsored, like in the adoption cases a few years back that made headlines. The best thing to do is keep the conversation going. By spreading awareness we create a conversation that cannot be ignored. Your voice is a powerful thing use it for good and let's end slavery. There are some really compelling stories in the TIPs report, read it for yourself at: https://lnkd.in/gaHP2Kef #humantrafficking #slavery #endhumantrafficking #endslavery

🌈 Celebrating Success at the Chicago Pride Parade! 🎉 I'm thrilled to share that our team had an incredible time at the Chicago Pride Parade, where we proudly carried flags and showcased United Airlines' unwavering support for inclusion in the workplace! 🌟✈️ As we marched alongside the vibrant parade, our luggage tractor and carts adorned with United Airlines branding served as a symbol of our commitment to fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued and included. We were overwhelmed by the positive response from the crowd and the outpouring of support. It was truly heartwarming to see individuals from different backgrounds coming together to celebrate love, diversity, and unity. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our amazing EQUAL Business Resource Group, and our team members who participated in the parade, spreading joy and showcasing our dedication to embracing all identities. Your energy and enthusiasm were truly inspiring! Thank you to everyone who joined us on this incredible journey, and let's keep uplifting and celebrating diversity every day. Together, we can make a difference! #ChicagoPrideParade #UnitedAirlines #InclusionAtWork #DiversityandEquality

Fly with Pride. 🌈 ✈️ “Runways of Love” was commissioned from Chicago-based artist Sam Kirk (@iamsamkirk on Instagram) to honor the full spectrum of ways our customers and employees are uniquely themselves. We take pride in our ongoing commitment to making our airline more inclusive. For 10 years (and counting), we've earned 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index. We are the first airline to offer non-binary booking options for customers — and more inclusive appearance standards for employees. Our partnerships with the HRC, The Trevor Project and StartOut help provide resources to the LGBTQ+ community. And our Business Resource Group EQUAL continually pushes United's organizational initiatives for LGBTQ+ equality forward.
Striving to add value to airline operations with my diverse background in many aspects of its operations.
