Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Community,

In September 2024, California Trout made the intentional decision to temporarily remove our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice statement, originally drafted in 2021. Over the past three years, our organization has grown and evolved, deepening our understanding of what it means to meaningfully uphold these commitments. Rather than let a past statement stand unchanged, we are taking the time to reflect, refine, and reaffirm our dedication to both our internal team and the communities – human and non-human – that we serve.

At CalTrout, we believe that action must match aspiration. We are committed to ensuring that our words authentically reflect the ways we support our staff, engage with our local communities, and advance our mission to protect and restore water and the lands that hold it. Our decision to revisit this statement was not influenced by recent current federal actions on DEI, but rather by our ongoing commitment to thoughtful, meaningful progress within our organization.

We look forward to sharing an updated statement soon that is accountable to an equitable, diverse, sustainable, and joyful future. For now, please explore our mission, vision, and beliefs.

-The CalTrout Team
