The Charlotte Area Liaison Group (CALG) is dedicated to fighting discrimination in all of its forms. It’s the core mission of our members.

CALG joins the world in unity and support against social injustice and systemic racism. 

The senseless murder of Black African American male, George Floyd by a white Minneapolis police officer has sparked recent social justice/Black Lives Matter movement protest across America. Many corporate CEO’s have issued statements calling for justice for all and have started the dialogue on systemic racism against Blacks/African Americans.

Now is not the time to tip toe around the sensitive topic of systemic racism against Blacks/African Americans in today’s world. Let’s not allow the conversations to be derailed by any other topics. We must stay focused!  A call to action is needed from each and every one of us. As leaders in the Affirmative Action community and in your companies and local communities, how do you plan to show up and support equality for all? As your CALG president, I plan to partner with Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Secretary of State, Governor and other political officials in efforts to help make the necessary change to rid racial injustice against Blacks/African Americans. I plan to continue the dialogue and meet as often as needed to help make progress towards equality for all. Many of you have listed or even included/uttered phrases/words in your resumes/interviews such as “I’m a problem solver”, “I’m a team player”, "I’m strategic", "I’m a BIG picture thinker.” All of these positive traits and more are needed NOW to help make a 400 years long overdue change to rid the world of social injustice and systemic racism against Blacks/African Americans!  

I’d like to share a quote from Harriett Tubman: “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach the stars to change the world.”

How do you plan to become involved?  Let’s be a part of impacting change and not just merely existing on mute saying and doing nothing during change.
