To all the businesses & organisations issuing statements in support of #BlackLivesMattter how about instead of platitudes, you tell us exactly how many black people you will have on your Board & in the senior management at your organisation by this time next year
It isn't only meaningful metric & won't resolve many facets of a complex issue, but it is within your gift, is measurable & practical & will have impact. And individuals who say they are committed to the cause, ask your employers, clients & organisations you work or do biz with
And to all those asking what the specific demands of the protesters are, perhaps this could be a starting point offer.....and if companies find it easier to spend millions setting up funds to tackle various aspects of racial injustice rather than make such commitments, well....
You could call it the George Floyd Pledge & use this moment as a real turning point. How about that @FT @nytimes @USChamberAction @USChamber @CBItweets ?
