I work for a tech company in Silicon Valley. I've been fortunate that our company culture has been relatively a-political for years - aside from some co-workers vocally expressing their distaste for Trump, or being excited for the Russia-gate situation.

However, now after the George Floyd situation, our CEO has sent out a couple of emails that he is "just now starting his journey" on learning about racism in the US and how to be an ally. There's mention of implementing "Diversity & Inclusion" initiatives, as well as learning about "inherent bias" and we're being encouraged to join an allyship challenge and donate to BLM-related causes.

He said he "welcomes any feedback" - but I really think I might be putting my job on the line to speak out.

I just want to keep politics out of the workplace.

The only avenue I feel comfortable speaking out is we can anonymously post questions for our occasional "town hall" meetings.

Do you have any suggestions? Advice?
