Next on the schedule today is a workshop: Breathing Life into ERGs: the Impact of a Pandemic and a Racial Justice Movement.

Next session at #vGHC20 for me is pretty pertinent: Male Allies: The One "DEI" Thing a Male Ally Can Do Today - a panel including Glenn Block, David Graham, Jason Thompson, and Jeremiah Chan.
