Company educates staff on social justice, ensures they have time to vote, and makes financial commitment to NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
In a proactive effort to support the ongoing fight to end racial injustice, Aquent, the world’s largest marketing and creative staffing firm, today announced a set of company-wide initiatives designed to foster racial equality. First, the company will promote two important books by authors of color to help educate staff on the history and purpose of this movement. Second, the company will ensure time off for staff to vote in elections and to assist their friends, families, and neighbors in exercising their voting rights. Aquent will also make a financial commitment to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. through a corporate contribution, and will match donations made to the Fund by staff and talent. Finally, Aquent will partner with other staffing firms in a social media campaign to celebrate those fighting for social justice and promote their initiatives.
