Your frustration is heard. I’m wrapping up work for a DEI org in the state that runs workshops on teaching empathy, anti - racism, etc. The CEO just fired me for requesting disability accommodation. This is an org that partners with public schools, is politically active in RI, and receives many grants from high profile donors… and yet, I am one of many employees who have been retaliated and discriminated against. All to say, I expect empathy from absolutely no one but am grateful when it’s given. So even those “doing the work” aren’t actually walking as they talk.
