Juneteenth - A day to learn, unlearn and take positive action.
Tomorrow is Juneteenth (or Freedom Day) - commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. Although the day is a celebration, we recognise that achieving real equality is an ongoing challenge, not only in the US but here in the UK and globally. And it’s one we all need to work on. So tomorrow, our agency will be standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and dedicating the entire day to learning, unlearning, reflecting and taking positive action. We have created a Resource Hub to help our people (and anyone else) improve their understanding of how to become anti-racist. Please feel free to use and share it as much as you like. Of course, this is not enough. But it is a start. And over the coming weeks and months, we will continue to take positive actions to combat racial inequality in our workplace, in our work and in the world.
A carefully curated page of resources on the Proximity website for both internal and external viewers to use to educate and deepen on the BLM movement and surrounding topics.
