P&G Presents Disrupt and Dismantle

Bias.
Systemic Racism.
Inequality.

Inequities and injustices plaguing the Black community in the United States need to be challenged, confronted and changed.

In partnership with BET, we’re presenting Disrupt and Dismantle, an innovative investigative series with acclaimed journalist Soledad O’Brien tackling environmental racism, gentrification, the school-to-prison pipeline, infant mortality, police reform and multi-generational wealth.

We’re stepping forward to present Disrupt and Dismantle because racial inequality is the inescapable reality of America. It didn’t begin with us, but it can end with us — if we choose to act. Click here for episodes and how to watch on BET.

In 2020, we announced significant commitments to Take on Race by accelerating and expanding the work with organizations that fight for justice, advance economic opportunity, enable greater access to education and health care and make our communities more equitable. Disrupt and Dismantle is one of the newest programs we are bringing forward focused on real people, real issues, that require real action. Read more about our June 2020 call to action.
