GOLDLAW As an Ally
Are You One Of The Attorneys Who Ally?
Join GOLDLAW as we take a bold stand for equality in the legal profession.
At GOLDLAW, we pride ourselves on inclusivity, opportunity, and equality for our clients, our staff, and the legal profession as a whole. We’ve made that commitment for many years, and we don’t just “talk the talk” – we “walk the walk,” too.
That’s why for Pride Month 2024, we’re partnering with LGBTQ+ organizations locally and around the country to lead the way encouraging other attorneys and law firms to pledge to become an Ally in your community.
Simply put, an Ally is committed to supporting and promoting equal civil rights, gender quality, and LBGTQ+ social movements, and take a stand against homophobia and transphobia. Any Ally acknowledges that members of this community suffer discrimination, and as a result, can be socially disadvantaged. An Ally thus pledges to use their position and advantage to counter discrimination.
Ready to take a stand?
It all begins with making a pledge to become an Ally. You can use the form below. When you do, you’ll receive educational and promotional materials, as well as tools and resources you can use to better understand the issues facing the LBGTQ+ community today. We’ll also send you an Ally tabletop flag you can proudly display in your office, and share online to further promote awareness and engagement with the hashtag #AttorneysWhoAlly!
Step #1
Make the Pledge
Use the form below to pledge to become a Straight Ally for the LBGTQ+ community alongside GOLDLAW. We recommend encouraging the partners and leadership team of your firm to join, and any staff who may feel inspired.
Step #2
Commit To Training
Many LGBTQ+ organizations offer LGBTQ+ & Gender Competency Training to companies, organizations, and businesses across the country! Compass of Palm Beach County is one such organization. GOLDLAW did it, and you should, too!
Step #3
Share & Encourage
Help us spread this campaign of awareness, education, and training to other lawyers and legal professionals across the nation! We’ll send you a Straight Ally flag you can snap and share photos of with your staff to post on social with our hashtag #AttorneysWhoAlly!
