Last Friday, Discord’s Black and African American Movement (BAAM) Employee Resource Group had the privilege of hosting The Cookout, a virtual event where we brought together Black peers from various ERGs across the gaming industry. The event was a vibrant celebration of community, featuring inspiring speakers, networking opportunities, games, and live performances and the BAAM ERG is still feeling all of the good vibes a week later. The goal was to strengthen bonds not just within Discord, but across the broader industry, supporting and uplifting Black professionals in gaming. A big thank you to Black ERG communities and everyone from other companies like ABK, Black at Xbox, Riot Noir, Zenimax and countless others for making this event a success. Also major shoutouts to artists Substantial & the Sun’s Hues https://lnkd.in/gpVg6UBe & Mega Ran https://lnkd.in/g8bBvVTm for performing! Together, we’re building a more inclusive and supportive gaming community. #BlackInGaming #ERGs #LifeatDiscord

Über uns
Founded in 2015, Discord is a voice, video and text app that helps friends and communities come together to hang out and explore their interests - from artists and activists, to study groups, sneakerheads, plant parents, and more. With 200 million monthly users across 19 million active communities, called servers, Discord has grown to become one of the most popular communications services in the world. Discord was built without selling ads or user data and instead, offers a premium subscription called Nitro that gives users special perks like higher quality streams and fun customizations. And we're hiring! If this strikes a chord with you, come build belonging with us: https://discordapp.com/jobs for openings.

Excited to reveal our Teen Charter, which includes a set of principles that represent the expectations teens have of each other and of Discord. It was built with the collective input of teens and global organizations Digital Wellness Lab, NoFiltr.org, and ThinkYoung to guide users in creating a fun and comfortable space to play and chill with their friends, especially as people go back to school.

Every July, Discord joins national communities in recognizing Disability Pride Month. This is a time of collectively promoting visibility, raising awareness about the challenges and triumphs of the disabled community, and advocating for dignity, respect, and inclusion for all. This year’s celebration coincided with the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law on July 26, 1990. This landmark legislation has been instrumental in ensuring the civil rights of disabled individuals, aiming to prohibit the discrimination of those with disabilities and help promote accessibility in all areas of public life. Discord’s Brain & Body Works Employee Resource Group is committed to building belonging for all kinds of bodies and minds. Disability Pride Month encourages us to see disability as a natural part of human diversity, and the Brain & Body Works ERG was created to build intentional safe spaces for people, regardless of ability status, and to advocate for the needs of physically disabled folks and neurodivergent individuals. Check out Discord’s Blog (linked below) to read more about how Discord honored this moment in time and our diverse communities. If you’d like to be part of the Brain & Body Works ERG’s journey, we’d love to have you – Check out our jobs page! #LifeatDiscord https://lnkd.in/g4zv5w2m
