Experts from Democracy Forward and the Center for Reproductive Rights will provide an overview of the recent U.S. Supreme Court term including highlights of cases relevant to social equity and social justice commitments. Cases to be discussed include Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization; West Virginia v. EPA, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, and Kennedy v. Bremerton School District. The impact of these cases span issues including abortion access, environmental regulation, gun regulation and separation of church and state. Join us for actionable recommendations business can take on in this changing judicial landscape.

Business can help advance LGBTI equality and create more inclusive and equitable workplaces. This includes Scotiabank, which recently announced a significant expansion of gender affirmation benefits for employees and their families. To kick off Pride Month, we connected with Dominic Cole-Morgan, Senior Vice President, Total Rewards, Global Human Resources at Scotiabank to discuss the recent announcement and Scotiabank's broad commitment to human rights.
COVID-19 has shown—in a tragic way—how interconnected the world is. All the events of the past year and a half have also reinforced and deepened the urgent need to redefine the social contract and the key role business must play in that effort.
As the U.S. celebrates AAPI Heritage Month this May, there is an opportunity for business leaders to learn more about the AAPI experience and help to build a more just, sustainable, and inclusive world—beginning in the workplace.
