To our partners and their communities all around the world, we hope to see you online at our next #CouchConvo this Thursday! couchconvobilingual.eventbrite.com Ladies That UX SF Hexagon UX Ladies That UX BOS AIGA DC AIGA Miami Ladies that UX / DUR @GA_ATX @GA_SF #seaDUXX @hiretechladies

Recent events have brought home to us how important the principles of equality, diversification and justice are, in both our professional and personal lives. We stand together in the face of intolerance and are proud to serve women, POC and binary folx as an organization.

A few resources: — aspeninstitute.org/blog-posts/str… — medium.com/equality-inclu… — docs.google.com/document/d/1BR… If you can afford to, please consider donating to: minnesotafreedomfund.org splcenter.org gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd

Most importantly, we have to continue to participate in uncomfortable conversations. Hold your peers accountable and continue to amplify black voices. #BlackLivesMatter

Please remove the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag from the #blackoutday action. Today we need to be MORE connected than ever.

We're hearing asks from the community that posts related to Blackout Tuesday use the hashtag #blackouttuesday, and not #blacklivesmatter. The #blacklivesmatter hashtag aggregates important information and resources for the community.

Hexagon was born out of the necessity to combat the gender gap in UX, but we would be remiss to think this isn't an intersectional issue. We will continue to fight for the Black community within Hexagon. We won’t have all the answers but we have the space for you.

If you're a Black non-binary or Black woman in Hexagon, DM me in Slack to join #/for-Black-folx. Now more than ever, we just need our own room 💪🏾 see you there!

As time passes, our fight cannot stop — look within and ask how we can step up, speak up, and be allies for the Black community. At Hexagon, we will continue to fight for racial equality and justice within our community and beyond. medium.com/hexagon-ux/an-… #BlackLivesMatter
