Data Privacy Week was a great way for LiveRamp to close out January 2021! LiveRamp employees dedicated the past week to informative, engaging, and lively events centered around privacy and data ethics, sponsored and hosted by LiveRamp's Data Ethics team. Now that February is here, we're looking forward to celebrating Black History Month! The team at Black@LR has been hard at work preparing for our heritage month, and we've developed some amazing virtual programming and celebrations for the whole community to take part in and enjoy. These events include a virtual art exhibit, a discussion with the CEO of a mindfulness app, a cooking class, and a DJ'd happy hour.
Yesterday, January 18th, 2021, was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day where we celebrated the civil rights leader’s life and legacy. On this day, Americans are encouraged to volunteer to improve their communities and it’s celebrated as a national day of service. To help celebrate this day ”on” (but day off from LiveRamp), we’ve chosen three social justice virtual volunteer opportunities that employees could participate in. All three of these featured volunteer opportunities were completely virtually and required up to two hours of time! Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time!
LiveRamp is so thankful Carlotta Walls LaNier took the time to join us for our "From Protest to Progress" company wide talk today. She shared her childhood story of being the youngest Little Rock Nine member to integrate into Central High School in 1957. When asked how to move forward with important conversations around diversity and acceptance she enthusiastically stated, "Dialogue without confrontation no matter what your setting! Get to know people who don't look like you, who are not in your environment all the time. Understand their culture and learn from them. Be more open minded and listen!" If you have a chance, pick up Mrs. LaNier's book, "A Mighty Long Way: My Journey to Justice at Little Rock Central High School."

On behalf of EQUAL, we would like to thank everyone who donated to our first annual fundraiser for LGBTQI+ youth services and the three amazing centers located in San Francisco, New York, and Philadelphia. With your help, we raised over $5000 that will go to support LGBTQI+ youth by providing healthcare, housing, employment, and education services. Your funds will go where they are most needed, helping these centers continue to provide care to young people on their path to self-sufficiency. Thank you again and happy holidays!

It's Indigenous People's Day! Initially a counter-celebration of Columbus Day, the holiday began in 1990 in South Dakota and rose to national prominence over the course of the 2010s. Many reject the celebration of Christopher Columbus, as he represents the violent history of colonization that we can still see the effects of to this day. Some states and many cities have more formally adopted this celebration, but currently it is not federally recognized as an official holiday. This can change! The Smithsonian has five pointers for respectfully honoring the Native peoples of the Americas this year: - Plant native - Read an Indigenous writer - Attend and online Indigenous Peoplesâ Day celebration - Help share a more truthful history of Columbus - Support and advocate for Indigenous Peoplesâ Day
