Standing with our Asian American colleagues and communities
Last month, we welcomed the Lunar New Year, a time that traditionally focuses on celebrations filled with hope and wishes of good health and fortune for the coming year. As we joined our Asian American colleagues and communities to recognize this holiday, we were reminded of the disturbing rise in hate crimes and violence that they have been experiencing. Our hearts go out to those who have been impacted by these horrific attacks.
We want to reiterate that Deloitte stands together to combat discrimination and racism and affirm our solidarity with our Asian American colleagues and communities. To build upon this commitment, we will be making an additional $1 million donation to organizations involved in stamping out anti-Asian discrimination and supporting our Asian American communities.
Additionally, we are actively listening and taking several actions to help raise awareness about what is happening in our Asian American communities and to set the stage for positive change—including launching our next Brave Space for Dialogue sessions beginning today, participating in the Partnership for New York City Virtual Action Day to speak out against anti-Asian prejudice and violence on March 26, and sharing new resources with our colleagues internally.
As a firm, we have an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion both within our four walls and in our communities. This is a critical time for everyone to act.
Please be an ally and support our commitment to fight discrimination and racism in all its forms and lead the change we want to see in our society.
