To better meet the challenges of systemic racism, white supremacy, and oppression, our actions require all of our focus. We are pausing local chapter programming to do just that. Visit us at nebraska.aiga.org to learn about our plan.

If you’ve ever wondered why we struggle with attracting *and* keeping diverse young talented professionals in Nebraska, what’s happening now is part of the reason. #nebraska #omaha #JamesScurlock – at Omaha, NE

AIGA stands in solidarity with Black designers, educators, students—and their families, cultures, and communities—in the condemnation of racism, intersectional discrimination, and acts of violence, including murder. #blacklivesmatter Read our pledge > aigadsgn.org/3drEP4C

Ours is a discipline of compassion and of listening and of acknowledging personal bias to solve problems. Our response should reflect that. Tomorrow, we will start with small, defined actions and audit ourselves as we move forward. (5/6)

We don’t have the voice, reach, or the impact of the ACLU or NAACP. We are just a small piece of a larger puzzle. And we are here to support the voices of you, our community. (4/6)

The design community is small, but we are part of a much larger community. And right now our communities are rightfully angry, tired, and saddened by the brutality that continues in our country. (3/6)

We have to acknowledge and embrace the fact that design lives within a system. And the system isn’t broken. It was built this way. Systemic change can only happen if the system is dismantled and redesigned. (2/6)

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
No design sprint can fix what’s happening right now. (1/6)
Think if speed networking and Chatroulette had a baby…kinda weird, right?
We’ll use Zoom’s breakout rooms to group individuals for 3, 15-minute rounds of conversations.
Sound fun? Register Here:
