Why do our social change organizations – who work for racial, economic, gender, and environmental justice – reinforce income inequity in their pay scales?
How seriously can we take nonprofits, and their public solidarity statements, if they continue to undercompensate their most marginalized staff members?
What are the real, meaningful options for people who want to be part of organizations that practice equity where it matters: with compensation?
This virtual seminar series is for every nonprofit staff person, human resources professional, consultant, donor, or movement worker who believes that we need organizations to practice their stated values of equity through their compensation – in other words, to put their money where their values are.
Are you ready?
Dates for the 2023 seminar series are here!
