Social Change Storytelling: Discover the power of using storytelling as a tool for awareness, making the invisible visible, and inspiring positive social change.

• Food Equity- Encompasses the adverse effects on marginalized communities caused during the production of food (wages, access, protection) and distribution of food (lack of healthy options).

• Environmental Justice- The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies.

• Justice/Healing-Movement to address widespread generational trauma from systemic violence and oppression by reviving ancestral healing practices and building new, more inclusive ones

• Diversity/Equity/Inclusion:

• • Diversity is the presence of differences that may include race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, language, (dis)ability, age, religious commitment, or political perspective.

  • Equity is promoting justice, impartiality and fairness within the procedures, processes, and distribution of resources by institutions or systems.

  • Inclusion is an outcome to ensure those that are diverse actually feel and/or are welcomed

There are great resources out there to help in our fight for social justice. NEST makes available those we develop and we also will continue to provide links to other resources.
