We\u2019re thrilled to kick off Black History Month at Commvault as we celebrate the achievements and accomplishments of African Americans. This is a time to discuss and champion a fairer, more equitable future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is more important than ever to celebrate and acknowledge Black History month \u2013 honoring those who have worked to end oppression and soberly acknowledging the significant work that still remains. Over the past few years (and even weeks), we have seen traumatic events that have captured headlines and sparked discussion on racial justice. Inequity persists in healthcare, education, voting rights, housing, and the basic human right to live without fear of violence. That\u2019s why at Commvault, we courageously move forward with discussion and exchange of ideas \u2013 we won\u2019t change the conversation unless we have the conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The theme of this year\u2019s Black History Month is Resistance, in recognition of those who have fought and continue to fight against oppression of all kinds. This February, we remember the heroes of Black history. We can honor their fight by condemning racism and championing change during Black History Month and every day of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within Commvault, we will have an internal focus on \u201cequity in action\u201d as we continue to foster a culture of belonging. And even though February is Black History Month in North America, our entire global Vaulter community will be connecting and celebrating Black History Month over the next few weeks! Our DE&I team, in partnership with our Multi-Culture Employee Resource Group (ERG), is hosting a variety of internal events to drive further awareness and celebration of how Black Americans’ rich legacy of art, resistance, and resilience has contributed to every aspect of American progress and culture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
