Economic Justice

At Diversify, our work on Economic Justice focuses on promoting equity in employment, wealth distribution, power sharing, and access to critical resources. We are dedicated to dismantling systemic structures that marginalize individuals and communities—particularly women, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups.
 

 

Our Key Priorities:
  • Inclusive Employment Practices: Advocating for diverse representation and equitable opportunities across industries and leadership roles to enable meaningful power sharing for historically excluded groups.
  • Job Creation and Entrepreneurship: Facilitating meaningful employment opportunities for marginalized communities and designing initiatives that support workforce participation and entrepreneurship, aiming to shift and redistribute power equitably.
  • Access to Services: Ensuring fair access to essential services, including healthcare, education, and financial systems, free from systemic discrimination.
  • Workforce Inclusion: Addressing barriers to entry and retention for marginalized groups, fostering inclusive workplaces where diversity drives innovation and progress.



Through data-driven programming, accelerator and incubation initiatives, mentorship, advocacy, training, and cross-sector collaboration, we strive to enact systemic change. By engaging policymakers, businesses, and communities, we reimagine economic systems to empower all individuals, contributing to sustainable, inclusive growth and equity.
