Good morning, Broadsheet readers! North Dakota's abortion ban was overturned and Arizona's was repealed, Nasdaq chair and CEO Adena Friedman takes on fraud, and women of color win big at the Emmys. Have a mindful Monday.
- Hope in Hollywood. During a year in which much of corporate America has retreated from DEI, actor John Leguizamo gave the acronym a new meaning at last night's Emmy Awards. "The ‘D’ is for diligence, the ‘E’ is for excellence, the ‘I’ is for imagination,'" he said to a room full of TV's biggest stars and behind-the-scenes talent.
Leguizamo spoke out in favor of better roles for Latinos and people of all backgrounds, in a speech that followed a full-page ad he took out in the New York Times in June urging Emmy voters to choose people of color for this year's awards. "I know everyone is exhausted about inclusion, but not us who are not included," he said at the time.
