The CAMTB Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Journey
As a community of trail stewards, advocates, and leaders in California, we are committed to bringing D.E.I. to the forefront of our work and helping our members address it both collectively across the state, as well as individually in our members’ respective regions.
D.E.I. Defined
Diversity – All the differences between us based on advantages or barriers to opportunity. Diversity isn’t just about racial differences.
Equity – Allocating resources to ensure everyone has access to the same opportunities. Equity recognizes that advantages and barriers—the ‘isms’—exist.
Inclusion – Fostering a sense of belonging by centering, valuing, and amplifying the voices, perspectives and styles of those who experience more barriers based on their identities.
