Our Mission
To build and sustain a coalition that seeks a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community through advocacy and education.
From Memphis to SLO
Who Gets to Shape Our Future?
​
In Memphis, residents are organizing for environmental justice, challenging the impacts of Elon Musk's xAI data center, and fighting for a voice in decisions affecting their neighborhoods. Their efforts have reached city government, the courts, and national headlines.
​
On November 12, join us for our next Fostering Understanding in Our Community event to learn what Memphis residents are doing, the challenges they're facing, and what their experiences can teach us here on the Central Coast.
​
We'll welcome filmmaker Justice A. Whitaker for a screening of his short documentary How Memphis is Fighting for Environmental Justice in the Era of xAI, followed by a community conversation and a special virtual message from Tennessee State Representative Justin J. Pearson, a leading voice in the movement.
​
Who decides? Who benefits? Who bears the cost? And what power do we have to shape those decisions?

Our Programs
School Speaker Program
Our School Speakers Program helps showcase the importance of telling our story and the importance of seeing the world from someone else's perspective.
​
Our speaker list includes a diverse group of speakers including race, ethnicity, gender, immigration status and disabilities.
BIPOC Board Leadership Training
Our training aims to provide training to BIPOC professionals to be a good, effective board leader and create a pipeline of board ready candidates trained in board governance; as well as to facilitate board placement assistance for non-profits recruiting to diversify its board.
SLO Equity Podcast
SLO Equity is a podcast that dives into the origins of systemic racism, and unconscious bias in San Luis Obispo County. It tells the stories of the minorities affected by it as well as the stories of those people working to improve diversity, equity and inclusion in this predominantly white community.
Women of Color Network
Women of color experience unique perspectives at the intersection of race and gender. This dual identity often results in distinct social, economic, and cultural outcomes that are not fully addressed by movements focusing solely on either race or gender. By fostering connections and celebrating their achievements, we can promote inclusivity, amplify their voices, and work towards a more equitable society for all.
