"Bumble Bee had been warned of inhumane conditions in its supply chain over the years. In 2020, accounts of abusive conditions and forced labor prompted the U.S. to halt imports from a Taiwan-based fishing vessel that reportedly supplied the global tuna trading company that acquired Bumble Bee Seafoods that same year." https://lnkd.in/g_pESs82

We are delighted to share a short clip of our very own Rose Mukhar (She/Her) speaking at the Alliance for Girls Political Impact Panel last week when she discouraged organizations that serve girls, gender-expansive youth, and other vulnerable populations from scrubbing their websites out of reactionary fear. We believe that by tweaking your mission and or erasing language from your website about who your organization serves creates harmful messaging that you don't have your clients' backs and you are not going to advocate for them as your mission intended. Remember, defiance can be a positive action to stay true to your organization's mission to serve vulnerable populations.

While blind people use tech, the creativity is ours. Some sighted people assume screenreaders and other disability tech does all the work for us. Instead of saying, “Carla wrote the report,” her manager simply says, “She used a screenreader,” as if credit for the report rests with the screenreader. This kind of messaging impacts our hiring and advancement opportunities. When discussing disabled people and tech remember to recognize our talents and creativity. Daniela Rubio Trujillo is an accessibility expert based in Barcelona who intentionally combines high tech and low tech elements in her engaging presentations.

Way to go Jean Bruggeman, Executive Director of the Freedom Network USA! We appreciate the advocacy you and all your team do on behalf of #humantrafficking survivors and we are proud members of the #FreedomNetworkUSA "...If we allow our providers to close their doors, to go dark, we are inviting traffickers to walk in the door, to hold survivors captive... and we are telling survivors that we no longer care about your safety, we no longer care about your security... and we do not care whether or not you are able to ever escape your abuse and exploitation. We just can't let that happen."

This question gets asked way too often. The answer is EVERY job. Every job you can think of there is likely a person with a disability doing it. #DisabilityInclusion #DisabledAndCapable #HumanResources ID: A blue image with question marks that reads "What kind of jobs can people with disabilities do?" The question we look forward to never answering again.

We are delighted and honored that our very own Rose Mukhar (She/Her) will be participating in Alliance for Girls' Political Impact Panel on Feb. 27, 2025 via Zoom. Please see below for more information and the link to register. We hope to see you there! https://lnkd.in/gQzSe6_v
