As each LinkedIn colleague liked, shared and commented in its favor, I felt an irrational exasperation. It appeared consistently and boldly in my feed with little concern for my escalating irritation. After a while I stopped seeing it in my feed and I forgot about it.Ī couple of months later, a slightly different version resurfaced.

While I very much appreciated the intended purpose of the image- distinguishing equity from equality- the first time I saw it, I could not click the "like" button. I have seen this picture floating around many times on LinkedIn for several months now. With her permission, we share Aasha's post:
She had a fresh perspective about how the popular image gets equity so very, very wrong. Recently, we came across a LinkedIn post by Aasha M. Abdill, an independent evaluation and strategy consultant based in Washington, D.C., taking on the ubiquitous image of those three figures on boxes stacked outside a fence. Our contest ends March 31st, and while we've gotten some really interesting submissions from youths and adults, we're excited about what more may come our way.
Often the images were used to show the difference between equality, where everyone gets the same resources, and equity, which speaks to each person getting the resources they need. We were drawn to the illustrations floating around the web, usually depicting three individuals standing on boxes outside a fence. So you've probably heard about the illustration contest Meyer and Northwest Health Foundation launched in February 2016, to help identify images from Oregon artists that further the discourse on equity.
