Time to stand up and be counted

Stand up for the values of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Stand up as leaders of Anti-Racist action.  This may logically seem like nothing new, but the reality is that the priority that we have given collectively to EDI has waxed and waned over the years, too often impelled by tragedies such as the murders of Stephen Lawrence and George Floyd, then slowed as attention wanders to other things.  That in large part reflects the lack of diversity in leadership and a lapsing back into the comfortable mindsets of the privileged unwilling to share or give up their power.
