Activist Groups Petition Twitter to Reveal Its Workplace Diversity

Twitter is being pressured by several civil rights groups to reveal a report of its workplace diversity, following similar reports from companies like Google, Facebook, Yahoo and LinkedIn.

Organizations like Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition and ColorofChange.org are focusing their efforts on Twitter, calling for the company to reveal demographic information about its workforce, as well as to host a public forum on initiatives it will take to increase its employee diversity.

Appropriately, the organizations are using Twitter itself to call for the company’s diversity information.
