Days for Change: Removing Barriers and Building Bridges

Last summer marked a pivotal moment for societal reflection on systemic racism, highlighted by the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, which sparked global protests and discussions. At PagerDuty, this period prompted the launch of the "Day for Change" initiative, aimed at supporting the Black community and championing Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (ID&E) within the organization. By providing structured opportunities for education, advocacy, and philanthropy, such as workshops, voter engagement toolkits, and financial grants via partnerships with organizations like The New Georgia Project, PagerDuty seeks to enact meaningful change. The initiative has since evolved into a quarterly program, "Days for Change," which focuses on amplifying underrepresented communities. PagerDuty also introduced broader ID&E initiatives, including an Inclusive Hiring Program, leadership training, and transparent pay practices, while maintaining a commitment to civic engagement and community support. The company emphasizes solidarity with various marginalized groups and strives to create an inclusive environment where all identities are embraced, drawing inspiration from figures like Chadwick Boseman and the enduring message of unity and resilience.
