Did you know? Our LGBTQ+ community represents $1.4 trillion in buying power, a figure set to grow as Gen Z (24% identify as LGBTQ+) and Millennials (15% identify as LGBTQ+) continue to enter the workforce and shape consumer choices. These aren’t just statistics—they represent real people and our real economic power. In her latest piece for TIME, HRC President and 2024 TIME100 honoree, Kelley Robinson underscores how inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s essential for building a stronger, more resilient economy that benefits everyone. https://lnkd.in/efrUnYMC
