EAC’s Statement on Equity and Justice

We apply an equity lens to our guiding principles and work. We acknowledge how systemic, historical, and current social structures impact human relationships with our natural environment. We recognize that inequities and racism, past and present, result in reduced access to resources and increased environmental vulnerability. 

We are committed to evolving on an organizational level, expanding our program outreach, and broadening the voices and perspectives that drive our vision and policy work. The health of our environment thrives on ecological diversity, and the movement to protect it must be diverse and inclusive, which has not always been the case. 

West Marin Nonprofits Equity Statement

We acknowledge the systemic racism at play in our country and county, and commit to facilitate change and foster the inclusivity that this moment in history demands. We recognize that this is the work we must do to truly live out our values of equity and inclusion.

TOGETHER, WE AGREE TO:

• Carry out our own internal work within our respective organizations to address bias and racism, while advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion;

• Share our learning with each other for more effective action; and

• Collaborate as West Marin nonprofits to work with our communities in confronting systemic racism.

We draw our inspiration from courageous leaders who, over the centuries, have challenged exploitation, racism, and violence.
