The Supreme Court's decision to end affirmative action marked a critical moment for racial equity in the tech industry. We must fight harder than ever to ensure Black and Latinx technologists thrive. Affirmative action helped bridge structural disparities, giving marginalized students a pathway into higher education and tech careers. Its removal threatens to widen the gap. We can't let this setback define our future. “We need to understand the Supreme Court’s ruling as part of a concerted backlash against the racial justice uprisings of 2020 and prepare to fight for racial equity everywhere, including the tech industry: our future depends on it,” writes Code2040 CEO Mimi Fox Melton. Black and Latinx technologists are the future. Despite systemic barriers, they bring unparalleled creativity and resilience to the industry. It’s our duty to support them and ensure they can lead the change we need. https://lnkd.in/gcsKmQ76

This Juneteenth, we celebrate the historic milestone of emancipation and recommit to the ongoing fight for Black liberation. At Code2040, we are dedicated to creating economic mobility, redistributing power to Black and Latinx technologists, and challenging structural racism within the tech industry. Our work is about more than bringing diversity to tech—it's about transforming the innovation economy to build a world where Black and Latinx communities thrive. Today, we honor Black joy, resilience, and the promise of a future where racial equity is achieved. Let's build a radically just and free world together. #Juneteenth #BlackLiberation #RacialEquity #Code2040 #BlackJoy
