Courage is Contagious: Be Brave in Public

• Courage is contagious. People are scared, and don’t know what to do. Seeing you do the right thing will embolden other people to do the right thing.
• When you see something, say something. Object when you see colleagues or leaders complying with illegal orders in advance. Is someone proposing to remove anti-discrimination notices from agency materials, out of fear it will be called “DEI”? Even if it’s not your decision to make, you can speak up and say it’s wrong.
• When you have the power to do the right thing or the wrong thing – do the right thing, and make sure other know you’re doing it.
