ALLYSHIP/ADVOCACY

Allyship is a vital strategic tool employed by individuals to actively collaborate, support and advocate for justice and equity in the workplace. It involves fostering personal relationships and engaging in public acts of sponsorship. Allies work towards systemic improvements in workplace policies, practices and culture. Allyship should be practiced by everyone at all levels in order to continue to push diversity, equity and inclusion forward.

INCLUSION

I had to fight hard against loneliness, abuse and the knowledge that any mistakes I made would be magnified because I was the only black man out there … I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect. - Jackie Robinson
The essence of baseball -- a sport cherished by many -- is profoundly shaped by the power of inclusion. Without this crucial element, the beloved landscape of baseball we all hold close to our hearts would undergo a significant transformation. The inclusion of individuals from all walks of life has been the catalyst for our enduring impact, not only on the field but also behind the scenes. Embracing diversity has allowed us to harness a wide range of talents and perspectives, creating a dynamic and resilient baseball community. From players to coaches, from fans to administrators, the spirit of inclusion strengthens the very fabric of our sport, ensuring that baseball remains a source of joy, unity and inspiration for all. In every swing of the bat and every cheer from the stands, we celebrate the inclusive spirit that defines the heart and soul of baseball.

MLB’s Employee Resource Groups are voluntary, employee-led groups whose aim is to foster a sense of camaraderie, community and learning, alongside a diverse and inclusive workplace that aligns with the values of our sport.
