Since the death of George Floyd, employers have been pledging to champion diversity. To help professionals live by that commitment, LinkedIn Learning is offering free classes on practicing allyship and antiracism within the workplace.

“Allyship is not a title you wear, it’s how you live and engage with others,” said Rosanna Durruthy, LinkedIn’s vice president of diversity, inclusion and belonging, in a live virtual discussion about the courses. “It requires ongoing work from all of us.”

This course, taught by Netflix’s vice president of inclusion strategy, Vernā Myers, and Arianna Huffington, founder of the Huffington Post and Thrive Global, focuses on building and maintaining relationships with people who are different from yourself.

Dereca Blackmon, CEO of Inclusion Design Group, gives professionals strategies for becoming better allies in the workplace, including how to develop an inclusive mindset and putting marginalized voices first.
