Justice, Equity, Diversity and INCLUSION

VISION2030

ABOUT

Traditionally, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), people with disabilities,
neurodiverse people, and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community have been largely excluded from the environmental movement. Yet, people from equity-deserving communities often suffer disproportionate impacts of climate change as well as barriers to environmental justice. ENGOs
are now realizing that they need to better represent the communities they serve, learn more
about the social and economic barriers that underserved communities face, and explore how
they can work to dismantle these barriers within their own organizations. Making our workplaces
more welcoming and affirming for all people requires a brave examination of our privileges,
biases, and beliefs at both the personal and organizational level.


Equity Research Talks

Having trouble keeping up with JEDI research? Join us for these Fireside Chat-style sessions to hear directly from researchers who are investigating issues that matter to equity-deserving communities.

No academic speak here! In plain language, learn about why their work matters, delve into their main findings, and explore how environmental non-profits can best implement and amplify their research. Offered via free webinars four times per year.

JEDI Foundations Lab and JEDI Community of Practice

The JEDI Foundations Lab is designed for organizations who are ready to explore strategies specific to policies, processes, and culture, and discuss how to use inclusion principles to bring a transformative lens to their organizations. Consider this course an introduction to the challenges faced by equity-deserving communities such as BIPOC, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, and 2SLGBTQIA+. Offered as a series of online workshops twice per year.

All participants automatically become part of our JEDI Community of Practice, designed to keep up the learning momentum and deepen peer networks with monthly Spill the Tea sessions, periodic workshops, panels discussions, case studies, and a Discord server to keep the engagement going 24/7. The COP meets online every 4-6 weeks.

Identity-Based Groups

As the environmental non-profit sector continues to welcome and affirm staff from equity-deserving communities, there is a strong need for spaces where people who share these identities can discuss their joys and challenges without fear of reprisal.

- For BIPOC Ears Only was launched in Fall 2025 and welcomes racialized and/or Indigenous people (people with mixed ancestry that includes White/European are very welcome).
- For Neurodivergent Ears Only launches in Winter 2026 to welcome neurodivergent people.
- We anticipate that For Queer Ears Only will launch in Fall 2026 to welcome people from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

All groups feature Monthly Community Calls, shared Google Folders, and a Discord server to keep in touch 24/7. For questions and how to join identity-based groups, contact Anna-Liza Badaloo at anna-liza@sustainabilitynetwork.ca.
