RAINBOW WASHING: AN ANTI-ODE

Don’t #RainbowWash
The upcoming #Pride season!
Instead, do the work —
Here’s some how & some reasons! ⬇️

Authentic engagement
Will leave folkx no doubt.
Your actions speak louder
Than words - with more clout!

Consider the images
You’re usually using.
Your values are showing
Through what you are choosing.

And when you’re recruiting,
Do you collect data
On who’s in the process
For use now — and later?

Are you a #ProudAlly?
That’s awesome. Hooray!
Show that through your actions
And words that you say.

Challenge misgendering.
Homophobia too.
Live #Pride in all parts
Of your work -- and of you.

If you’re asked to speak,
Stop and check out the panel —
If it’s only cis, or
A purely white man-el,
Then stop and consider
If you might step back,
And make space for voices
The panel now lacks.

So don’t change your logo
’Til you’ve done the work.
We see through that nonsense.
It drives us berserk.

That's how we'll arrive
At the #Pride that we need.
It’s got to be ALWAYS.

Hey — thanks for the read!😀
