As we work through this moment of racial reckoning in the U.S. - I'm frequently asked by foreign policy orgs/professionals for "concrete steps" to move from statements of solidarity for diversity & inclusion to measurable actions - a thread.
While it's infuriating that people - purportedly of good conscience - needed to see George Floyd suffocated by police in order to self-examine - it nonetheless offers an opportunity to pivot.
The statements of solidarity made by NGOs/Think Tanks were affirming 1st steps - that should not be dismissed. But what BIPOC communities need is the removal of barriers to opportunity, fair pay and equitable treatment - in short: jobs and justice.
