This session is for trail advocates and enthusiasts interested in investing time to broaden your understanding of systemic racism and how your group, organization, or company can form a community that fosters Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ). This 90-minute workshop will feature Sara Painter, Lina Beron Echavarria, Tykee James, and Valerie Bader, who have worked to create a DEIJ community since April 2020. This session provides a forum for people to share experiences, learn about and advance effective practices, and identify opportunities to individually and collectively promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in conservation work and environmental organizations. The panel will share lessons learned, approaches, and survey results as well as host a listening session and a Q&A.
