How We Treat Our Organizations
Being "woke" means little if we are unwilling to hold ourselves - and our organizations - accountable. Awareness may expose the problems in our communities, but it takes honest, disciplined, and sometimes uncomfortable work to actually change them.
We have become too comfortable protecting organizations from criticism and too hesitant to challenge leaders when they fail. But silence is not unity, and avoiding conflict is not accountability. If we want stronger communities, we have to stop hiding behind our organizations and start taking responsibility for them.
