The National Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Commitment Update

In the wake of the murder of George Floyd last summer and the resulting unrest over racial injustice, organizations across the country made public commitments to support equity and combat racism. One year later, CommonHealth ACTION reviewed those commitments and the progress that has been made to make them a reality. The National Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Commitment Update identifies organizations that have made public statements regarding EDI and racial justice and are committed to combatting systemic racism. The report also shines a light on new partnerships that were established between organizations with the intention of encouraging equity within communities.

The commitments in the report are divided into three categories: Policies, Programs, and Practices. We define these terms as follows:

  • Policy: A law, regulation, procedure, administrative action, incentive, or voluntary practice of organizations or institutions.
  • Program: A set of related measures or activities with a particular long-term aim.
  • Practice: The direct application or use of knowledge or skills specific to a particular profession or job.

Our goal for this report is to acknowledge and uplift organizations that are implementing EDI within their workplace and communities. We encourage other organizations to use the data in this report as examples of how they can take that first step on their EDI journey.

The movement toward EDI is an ongoing process. Therefore, we will continue to update this report to document progress and include more organizations that are publicly announcing commitments to EDI, racial justice, and combatting systemic racism as well as those that have taken tangible actions.

President and CEO, Natalie S. Burke, explains the importance of policies, programs, and practices when it comes to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.

Social change of any kind requires perspective tra Social change of any kind requires perspective transformation, and navigating the conversations that lead to these changes can be difficult. At CommonHealth ACTION, we help facilitate these conversations by providing the necessary tools for this vital change. 

Perspective transformation is the idea that when individuals know, think, and believe differently, they will decide, behave, and act differently. By implementing perspective transformation, you can better your organization’s culture, providing your employees with a safe and comfortable work environment.

Today for #WomensHistoryMonth, we want to honor Ro Today for #WomensHistoryMonth, we want to honor Rosa Parks – the mother of the civil rights movement. Parks was a civil rights activist and icon who is best known for refusing to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, leading to the Montgomery bus boycott which lasted 381 days. Throughout her entire life, she continued to fight for the rights of women and African Americans, believing “differences of race, nationality or religion should not be used to deny any human being citizenship rights or privileges.” #WomensHistoryMonth
In honor of Women’s History Month, today we’re In honor of Women’s History Month, today we’re spotlighting Sojourner Truth, who escaped slavery after running away from her master who failed to honor his promise to free her or to uphold the New York Anti-Slavery Law of 1827. After escaping slavery, Sojourner Truth dedicated her life to women's rights. During the historic Ohio Women’s Rights Convention in 1851, Truth delivered her most famous “Ain’t I a Woman” speech, which had a historic impact on equal rights in the U.S.
