Consumers are boycotting companies who have remained neutral during the protests while employees are exposing their employers for their discriminatory practices. People are demanding meaningful action and want to know what they’re doing to create an anti-racist workplace. Furthermore, companies will need to revisit current partnerships and sever ties with those who don’t support an anti-racist workplace.
