At Rockwell Automation, we care for and stand with Black, Indigenous and all People of Color. We condemn racism and discrimination of any kind, because they have no place in our communities. Change begins with each of us, and it starts with listening and learning.
Change Starts with Each of Us
In these times, some might find it difficult to know the right thing to do or say to be a strong advocate and ally. The links, materials, and resources below are recommended by our employees. These are intended to serve as tools for all white allies to deepen anti-racism work. Even if you haven’t engaged in anti-racism work in the past—start now.
To get started right away, here are three resources to take action:
- 75 Things White People Can Do
- #DoTheWork 30 Day Course by Rachel Cargle
- Talking About Race
One of our key differentiators is our culture, where we encourage courageous conversations on inclusion and diversity in the workplace. The goal is to create stronger workplace partnerships by building understanding of issues that can get in the way of an inclusive work environment.
