The Path Forward: Cultivating an Antiracist Company Culture
At Upwork, we stand firmly against racial injustice, and are working to create a safe environment for honest conversations about race.
We’ve been working behind closed doors, doing diversity in the dark.
Recent tragedies, including the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Riah Milton, Dominique Fells, Rayshard Brooks and too many others have propelled our awakening that the work of building an antiracist company culture must be done in the light.
We’re sharing where we’ve been and our path forward here.
