Summary

Mapbox's Rainbow Employee Resource Group (ERG) celebrated Pride Month with the theme "Stronger Together," emphasizing the shared responsibility between the LGBTQIA+ community and allies to advocate for equality globally. The company organized a range of events, including in-person and virtual workshops focusing on allyship and inclusive language, a virtual drag bingo hosted by a drag queen, and Pride trivia sessions in Europe, alongside meetups in Washington DC, San Francisco, and Seattle. Additionally, Mapbox launched a donation matching campaign supporting organizations like the GLADD Foundation and the Transgender Law Center. The ERG emphasized that celebrating diversity and authenticity should extend beyond Pride Month, encouraging ongoing dialogue and support for inclusivity in the workplace.
