Take the

Black Tech Pledge

I promise to create inclusive environments within the workplace and to take positive intentional actions to hire, promote, retain, develop and celebrate Black male and female professionals as employees, customers and citizens.

I strive to create or strengthen employee engagement, mentorship programs, employee or business resource groups, talent advancement and an inclusive company culture where employees feel they are valued, have a voice and can be their authentic selves. 

I acknowledge the priorities selected by Blacks In Technology and the Black Tech Pledge as outlined in their mission, which is to “stomp the divide” between Black tech workers and to fundamentally influence and effect change on an industry that has historically not sought parity with respect to Black workers. Our intent is to level the playing field through training, education, networking, and mentorship with the support of allies, partners, sponsors, and most importantly our global members. 

As a result, I aim to increase the number of Blacks employees in my company to better reflect the US population, increase Black representation in all levels and all functions of my company, and assess the sentiment of Black employees, customers, and partners.

Signing the Black Tech Pledge entails the following:

• Non-legally binding sign of intention
• Opportunity to showcase your commitment to diversity and inclusion
• Participate in ongoing research, polls and studies conducted by BIT Los Angeles.
• Listed as a public supporter on the Black Tech Pledge website
