JUSTICE. EQUITY. DIVERSITY.

INCLUSION. ACCESSIBILITY.

In an effort to increase accessibility to and diversity within the outdoor industry, OutsidePR works with a number of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion based organizations on a pro-bono basis every year.

OUR 2024

PARTNERS

  • The Running Industry Diversity Coalition, led by Executive Director Kiera Smalls, works to unite the running industry to improve the inclusion, visibility and access for Black, Indigenous and other people of color.

  • Varlo Sports, led by founder and CEO Soj Jibowu, co-founder Chief Branding Officer Jacob Brown, and COO Ed Chang, is a Black, Indigenous and Other People Color (BIPOC) owned-and-led cycling and multisport brand, whose mission is to empower all humans to conquer the goals of tomorrow through performance apparel that transcends size, gender, religion and ability.

  • The L. A. Foundation, founded by Kieren Britton, is an inclusive foundation supporting women+, nonbinary adventurers and allies in the outdoors. The L.A. Foundation focuses on empowerment through events, scholarships and education.

  • The Kwek Society, founded by Eva Marie Carney, provides period care and support to Indigenous students and communities through supplies and educational materials. It actively communicates that periods are to be celebrated, to de-stigmatize the “moon time” experience for people who menstruate.
