This is an important piece and I’m glad it’s making the rounds, but it’s essential to add this caveat: DEIJ matters not only bc of the way it improves science, but also bc it results in a more equitable/just community that can change people’s lives. science.org/content/blog-p…

For those who are able to take the day off tomorrow to honor Juneteenth, check out the thread below for the Out of Office message that I will be using. Please feel free to adapt, share, and use!

Happy Juneteenth to Black people and Black people only 🤎 If you’re not Black, don’t treat this as a holiday. Use this time to support Black people and invest in your own anti-racism. Read, learn, and amplify Black voices

It’s Juneteenth AND reparations. It’s Juneteenth AND end police violence + the War on Drugs. It’s Juneteenth AND end housing + education apartheid. It’s Juneteenth AND teach the truth about white supremacy in our country. Black liberation must be prioritized.

Thinking of our sister organizations in honor of Juneteenth. May we all continue to support and amplify each other as we work to create inclusive spaces and #diversifySTEM year-round.
