The IONS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative is an expression of our commitment to consciously look at and address systemic racism and inequity of all types, and their effects within our organization and community.   With this initiative, we seek to take a holistic and integrative approach to addressing racism and creating opportunities for celebrating and uplifting diversity of all kinds. The DEI initiative is currently being enacted through ongoing staff training, open space for DEI-related conversations, and specific departmental action plans. We see this initiative and its outcomes as directly contributing to our commitment to revealing the interconnected nature of reality.
