Hello Bluesky! 👋
We're Empower, a strategic digital comms agency.
We help charities and non-profits to make change happen 🌏
Read more about us and see some of the purpose-led organisations that we've worked with 👇

We believe visibility is a form of justice. When mission-driven organizations can share their stories clearly and confidently, more people show up to support them. That's the work we're committed to every day.
Happy B Corp Month to every organization putting people and planet before profit. 💚
We started #BCorpMonth off strong with a wonderful event by B Local Boston featuring an insightful workshop by Habitus Incorporated. As the month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on what it means to us to be a B Corp – Business as a Force for Good all year round.
In kicking off #BCorpMonth we are thrilled to highlight our dear friends Measure Meant, a fellow local woman-owned #BCorp!
If your business is interested in environmental and social responsibility and living your values, they're the ones to talk to. 🧡

🍃 It's #BCorpMonth! As a certified B Corp since 2023, we do everything we can to ensure we make a positive impact on people and planet, using our influence as a force for good. Keep an eye on our social media channels to see what we get up to, including a 'wild' volunteering day 🐅!
B Corp certification isn't just about what a company does — it's about the people inside it who make it possible. Learn more about our mission here: https://www.cleanenergycu.org/about/our-mission/ #BCorpMonth #BCorp
Inclusion isn't a 'nice-to-have' option, it's a valuable strategic business decision — the business case for inclusion is strong
I discussed with The Economist how having a diverse workforce including LGBTQ+ people makes a business stronger

Today on Human Rights Day, we’re reminded that the struggle for human rights now extends into the digital world.
Protecting digital rights is part of protecting each other — and building a future where everyone can live, speak, and participate with freedom and dignity!
Digital rights are everyone’s business — including yours!
From mass surveillance that decimates our privacy to internet shutdowns that silence us, our human rights online are constantly under threat. This is why safeguarding digital rights isn’t optional — it’s essential for justice, democracy, and dignity in the digital age.
First… what are digital rights? Digital rights are the same human rights we all have — in digital spaces. They protect how we can express ourselves, access information, and safeguard our privacy in the digital age. They include: Freedom of expression Privacy and data protection Protest and online organizing If you use the internet and participate in our increasingly digital world, these rights are YOUR business.
Almost every aspect of our lives now depends on digital technology. Without digital rights, our basic freedoms collapse. When governments shut down the internet, communities lose their voice. When companies harvest our data, our privacy vanishes. When algorithms decide what we see, democracy is distorted. Protecting digital rights means defending our ability to speak, connect, and participate freely in our societies.
Digital rights are everyone’s business — including yours.
From surveillance to shutdowns, our human rights online are under attack every day.
