Statement on Solidarity, Participation and Inclusion

A commitment to solidarity, participation and inclusion is one of the fundamental values of Friends of the Earth. We therefore endeavour to ensure that everyone, particularly marginalised and disadvantaged groups who might be affected by policy are considered and included in the conversation. We acknowledge our privilege as people working in an NGO and understand the fact that there may be barriers to participation. We strive to expand and diversify civic engagement, by creating spaces for everybody to participate and be included in activism and political change.

As part of this commitment to the values of solidarity, participation and inclusion we strongly encourage applications from those with identities under-represented in the environmental movement, for example: people of colour, LGBTQIA+ people, people seeking international protection or with refugee status, people with a disability/disabled people, or people are who members of an ethnic minority including Irish Travellers.
