Social justice, equity, and inclusion 

Fuse is committed to celebrating our team’s diverse voices and creating a space where everyone is empowered to bring their full, authentic self. We are also committed to principles social justice and anti-racism in the workplace. 

We are passionate about working not only within our agency, but across our industry to advance equity and inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity and experience. 

We began this work in earnest in 2021, when we prioritized a staff-wide training on unconscious bias. In 2022 we began a seven-month, company-wide course on anti-racism and inclusion. 

But this is just the beginning. We understand that this isn’t just a box to check — it’s an ongoing process.  

That’s why we’ll continue to update this page with information about our efforts around social justice, equity, and inclusion. And it’s why we invite you to participate in the conversation. 

Kind storytelling 

Fuse is leading an industry-wide movement toward kind storytelling — honoring those whose stories we tell with honesty, nuance, and compassion. 

That means treating the people we write about not as subjects for fundraising but as authentic human beings whose stories are their own. 

It also means avoiding language or images that could hurt or embarrass, and instead focusing on the dignity and hope that is a part of every life. 

It’s not easy to implement kind storytelling, and there is often a push and pull. But telling more ethical and empowering stories is a key part of Fuse’s mission.
