Following the murder of George Floyd last summer, countless companies and their senior leadership publicly condemned discrimination in any form, announced various financial commitments aimed at accelerating change and, in some cases, unveiled long-term initiatives to fundamentally alter their business practices to meet the needs of all people.

Fast-forward to today: A new presidential administration committed to addressing systemic racism and economic inequality has taken office in the U.S. But what does this mean for businesses that pledged to help stamp out systemic racism just a few months ago? How can they make good on their commitments now and maintain momentum into the future?

Join us on March 4 at 1 p.m. EST as we explore the answers to these consequential questions during “Now Is Not the Time to Get Complacent: How Business Can Push the Racial Justice Movement Further,” the first installment of 3BL Forum: Brands Taking Stands – LIVE!
