This is actually a positive that manifests itself as a negative. This is one organization that inserts diversity, equity and inclusion into everything it does. It is a huge part of the hiring process, the onboarding and the general work experience. DEI is everywhere. There is a department soley dedicated to this. Earthjustice is an organization that recognizes the differences among us all and encourages conversation, trial and error engagement to make things better. There are resources, forums, working groups, discussion collectives for every type of group that wants to organize. Again, I have never seen this in an organization EVER. People get to voice their opinions about perceptions (and examples) of inequality that remains, or just their own DIS-satisfaction about any and all things related to race, gender, etc. That is unheard of in most companies. It is the disatisfaction that is jarring. Many people feel that the organization is not doing enough which is mind-blowing really because I feel that there would be rude awakenings for many that leave an environment like this one for other less inclusive ones. The fact that there is a forum for you to say to the leadership that they are not doing enough is a lot in itself.
