This week, I received an email from a client asking me to ensure my talk is in compliance with the recent Executive Order banning anti-racism workshops, which included not using the term "white privilege" during the session. I said no and offered to cancel the agreement. Thread
Even if I *could* deliver a compelling talk without using the term, I could not agree with the *spirit* of the ask. I understand the predicament companies are in right now - "Does this expose us to legal risk?" "Will we get sued?" "Will we lose our government contracts?"
I understand it's a challenging place to be. AND. THIS is when you get to exercise your *accomplice* muscle (note this is different than allyship).
Are you willing to *break unjust laws* in order to uphold your commitment to equity and justice for all? 
I need every company's legal team to fasten their seat belts and be willing to go to bat for people willing to speak truth to power. And I need executive leaders to signal to their teams we're no longer in "compliance" mode -- we're in the "right side of history" mode.
Brace yourselves - we are only going to get louder.

This is just insane to have to even deal with !!! Maybe if we use the term ‘Cracker Entitlement’
I like that term, cracker entitlement.
You did very well!
