Your Ground Law in the wake of the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. 2020 Racial bias accusations and staff walkout In June 2020, former DoSomething staffers tweeted accusations about racial discrimination and toxic work culture at DoSomething and its sister organization Crisis Text Line. The CEO of Crisis Text Line, Nancy Lublin, was fired alongside two members of the Crisis Text Line Board of Directors. The accusations resulted in calls for the resignation of DoSomething CEO Aria Finger for her alleged complicity in and failure to address the toxic work culture. Finger took a leave of absence in June but was reinstated in late August following an independent investigation's conclusion that there was no explicit racism at the nonprofit. This prompted half of DoSomething's staff to walk out on September 8, refusing to work until Finger resigns. They cited that the independent report did not address the accusations in good faith, that the report was not released to staff, and that it focused mainly on explicit racial bias even though the accusations spoke primarily of implicit racial bias. In April 2021, DoSomething announced the appointment of a new CEO, DeNora Getachew. According to the press statement, Getachew will work to foster a high-performing anti-racist and inclusive culture based on trust and collaboration.
