New Data Sounds an Alarm for Action to Address LGBTQI+ Inequity
In January, the Center for American Progress (CAP) released the data and findings from their 2022 survey of LGBTQI+ adults in the United States. We took the opportunity to reflect on the systems and influences that result in ill effects for LGBTQI+ people and communities. These systems and influences are made up of a collection of forces working simultaneously, yet not in concert, to maintain barriers and status quo perceptions and treatment.
Weaving in Bhakti Mirchandani’s insights on how best to underwrite equity, we conclude that rather than seeing the problem as so vast that our individual and single-firm actions cannot make a significant difference, we must listen to the data, and act.
