​Equity Scholarship

The Northwest Justice Forum is committed to repairing the legacy of slavery and colonization of black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), especially as it relates to the resulting economic disparities that create barriers to meaningful inclusion and participation in our annual conference.  The "do no harm" restorative justice approach calls us to recognize where harm exists, including with systemic economic injustice; we are culpable if we do nothing to hold ourselves accountable for the part we have played in propagating systemic oppression.

The Northwest Justice Forum is seeking to embody its commitment to equity and inclusion by making the Forum more accessible to BIPOC and those who otherwise experience economic scarcity.  In the spirit of the ongoing practice of reparation, if you identify as black, indigenous, or person of color, you are invited to email the NW Justice Forum at [email protected] to apply.
