Embracing JEDI: Our vision for a diverse and inclusive future. At the BC Green Party, we're driven by Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) – our guiding values that pave the way for a stronger, more united British Columbia. These core values empower us to understand better and address the unique needs of our members, employees and every community across our province. We believe in: - Being fair, equitable, accessible, and transparent - Engaging with equity-seeking groups to determine the real and perceived barriers they face, and how we can dismantle them - Having representation that better reflects the diversity of our province - Creating safe spaces to discuss difficult topics - Educating staff, volunteers, members, supporters, elected officials, as well as British Columbians, in general, on issues affecting equity-seeking groups, and motivating them to take actionable steps to dismantle systemic barriers affecting societal equity - Staying up-to-date on issues affecting equity-seeking groups and adapting our approach accordingly - Recognizing that issues of equity and diversity must be approached through an intersectional lens! Would you like to join us? The BC Green Party is seeking members to join our Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee. Apply here: https://lnkd.in/ePKUsNm6 #bcpoli #votegreen #bcgreenparty

We are proud to launch our new 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, as we continue to support people in need to live fulfilled lives. There are five, key strategic priorities which will be focused upon over the coming years, including: 1) Community Service “Develop holistic, innovative, high quality and inclusive community services to respond where there is an indentified need”. 2) Social Justice “To steward the Mercy Ministry Companions theological formation process and advocate for social justice”. 3) Respect “Deepen our commitment to respect the dignity of every person with a preferential option for the poor and marginalised”. 4) Safety and Well-being “Ensure accountable and integrated systems that prioritise the safety and well-being of those we service and those we work alongside”. 5) Sustainability “Strengthen organisational and financial sustainability”. We look forward to sharing progress against this new plan, to achieve our Mission: “Through the Mercy tradition to recognise the rights of adults, children and older people with a disability and to assist each person achieve their life’s ambitions in a connected and meaningful way”. Together we grow.

Today, we celebrate the resilience of Indigenous peoples and the integral role they play in our past, present, and future. Indigenous peoples make our communities stronger and brighter. The discrimination of Indigenous peoples and communities is not only a matter of the past, but persists today. Indigenous peoples face significant barriers to economic mobility, voting rights and representation, housing, and health care accessibility – and are disproportionately experiencing the impacts of the climate crisis. At Betty&Smith, we’re committed to uplifting Indigenous communities and working to break down these barriers through tangible action and policy.

Interested in the critical *narrative infrastructure* required to support new narratives for a transformed economic system? Definitely read Trevor Smith's latest in NPQ! "We must start investing in our narrative and social infrastructure, which is maintained by a set of relational and cultural systems, in the same way that we invest and sustain our physical one. At the core, that would mean building the capacity and ability within movements to study the theories behind narrative and culture change, conduct the type of psychographic segmentation that allows us to better understand our audiences beyond race and gender, and create beautiful articulations of the vision of the world we are trying to create. Doing this would allow for the durable progressive policy change for which we so desperately fight."
