Equinix REIT : Moving from Color Blind to Color Brave

'If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.'

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. suggests the greater goal of racial equity and justice can be achieved through individual acts of compassion and service. We are proud to honor this amazing Civil Rights leader's life and legacy by recognizing Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Day as a national holiday for our U.S. employees.

This is also the first time we are writing a blog in recognition of MLK Day. We realize that now, more than ever, each of us needs to lend our voice and willpower to create progress-and that it requires seemingly small actions from both individuals and organizations to create more equitable workplaces as a step in building a more just world.

This decision is part of our commitment to diversity, inclusion and belonging (DIB) and to create a culture where all of our employees can bring their true selves to work and say, 'I'm safe, I belong and I matter.' At Equinix, our commitment to creating this culture is inspired by the passionate voices of our colleagues around the world.
