Equity Assessments & Coaching

We Believe

Equity is Like a Muscle

Practicing equity is the best way to get better at it. Everyone is capable of creating spaces that empower and protect marginalized people. This is possible through structural shifts, education and leadership by people from affected communities. Sometimes, you might need a personal trainer to get comfortable doing that work. That’s where we come in.

Nothing About Us Without Us

Every struggle creates a unique lived experience. When serving and caring for people from marginalized communities, the best services are provided by people with that same lived experience. At PeerPride, we guarantee that you will work with team members who share the lived experience of the people you are seeking to serve better. Everyone who provides direct services through us is a member of the community those services are for.

Nothing Exists in a Vacuum

When we build direct service programs, we build them in the real world. We take into account systemic problems like financial barriers, discriminatory laws, state violence, accessibility, medical trauma, racism, immigration status and more. Our own programs and the programs we help build will always prioritize harm reduction, informed consent, accessibility and protection from non-consensual interventions.
