How Business Leaders Can Step Up As Allies For The Black Community

Here's how business leaders can step up as allies for the black community:

When hiring, be sure to not just fill a diversity quota. Add checks and balances to ensure the best candidate hasn’t been overlooked due to race.Train your employees on what is a crime and what is not. Make sure they understand which crimes require a police presence and which do not.

Fund mentoring programs that connect young future business leaders of color with current industry titans so that climbing the corporate ladder no longer seems unattainable. Do not compare struggles. For example: sentiments like “never forget 9/11” but “slavery was so long ago, get over it.” Listen to black people when they explain how they feel about racism. Listen to learn, not to respond. But stop asking black people to teach you how to not be racist.Be careful who you endorse and donate to. Operate in the interest of the communities where your businesses exist and involve the community in those big decisions.Demand that cities be required to maintain a transparently indexed and searchable database of every stop, frisk, summons, use of force, manslaughter or murder they conduct.
