General Information

Following the 2020 murder of George Floyd and the resurgence of #BlackLivesMatter, EEB established a leadership council to facilitate ARDEI principles and activities throughout the department. The Council promotes diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice for all members and non-members of EEB, especially for historically marginalized, minoritized, or underrepresented folx such as those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color as well as LGBTQ+, persons with disabilities, and the intersections of multiple identities. The Council operates in an advisory capacity to make policy recommendations, and also takes direct actions to eliminate racism by 1) providing a structure for coordinating anti-racist actions; 2) representing the EEB community and ensuring accountability for ARDEI efforts; 3) communicating anti-racist priorities and progress; and 4) regularly assessing the effectiveness ARDEI practices.
