About this event
Omnipresent racial justice issues are flaring again in the United States as the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affects people of color, and videos of police brutality against African-Americans shock viewers and inflame protests and riots across the country. Business has played important, catalyzing roles for positive social change in the past – for instance, it was a major driving force for LGBTQ rights in this country.
What can and should business be doing to address racial injustice at this difficult time? What can be gained by acting swiftly, and what actions will have the most impact? What are the consequences of inaction by the business community?
Join us and a panel of three Boston business leaders experienced in driving positive change around diversity and inclusion for this urgent discussion.
