I stand with Morrison Foerster & Perkins Coie.
You may have heard about the sinister lawsuit initiated by the far right American Alliance for Equal Rights against two major law firms, alleging that their tiny diversity programs are discriminatory.
If you’re at MoFo or Perkins and help administer one of these programs, I send you love and thanks today — even though I was not a recipient of these grants, I appreciate what you do and the challenges you face. Thank you 🙏🏽
If you’re identified as a non-minority and somewhere in your heart you feel that you are disadvantaged by these kinds of programs, know that this is how many minorities feel about “normal” or “default” programs and hiring processes — may this feeling and experience actually bring us all closer together.
When we feel what others feel, that’s an opportunity to connect and grow together; not to turn against each other.
