We envision an environmental movement where:

Equity is woven into the fabric of how we think, talk, and take action. 

Diversity is apparent at all levels, including leadership and boards. 

Communities most impacted by environmental injustices are centered.

Environmental organizations are trusted partners to justice groups and frontline communities. 

There is a well-supported and prepared field of equity-focused staff. 

Organizations are working together collectively and collaboratively. 

Organizations know that equity is mandatory to their work and expect it. 

Healing and wellness are recognized as essential to organizations and the environment.
