At Sort Sol Group, we believe that commitment to equity is a worldview, a mindset, a practice, and a journey. That commitment is evergreen.

Powered by economic, political, sociocultural signs of the times, the ways and frameworks to support ourselves and others in this commitment can change as the landscape that defines that worldview also shifts. Sort Sol Group helps organizations navigate that landscape.

The effects of the 2019 global pandemic on communities who experience exclusion, inequity, and discrimination have been devastating. The Black Lives Matter movement has, once again, brought to light the deep injustices that have been exploiting the Black community for over 400 years.

In this historic moment, the world is demanding leaders to invest time, energy, and money into eradicating injustice, eliminating inequities, expanding diversity, and enhancing inclusion.

Why J • E • D • I ?

Organizations who commit justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion to their organizational values have a greater impact on the communities they serve.

They actively mitigate oppressive effects of dominant culture to provide relevance in a rapidly changing world.

Our Definitions

Justice

JUSTICE means actively dismantling systemic barriers affecting people’s ability to access resources and opportunities. This includes power, protections, wealth, education, healthcare, and social privileges.

Equity

EQUITY ensures everyone has access to the same opportunities and advancement. It eliminates barriers that have historically prevented the full participation of some. And it means we all have access to what we need to survive or succeed and addresses the root causes of disparities within our communities.

Diversity

DIVERSITY encompasses our differences: ability, ethnicity, first-gen student, foreign born, gender, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, or otherwise. There is no such thing as lack of diversity. Our greatest power is to embrace complexity and dismiss reductive classifications.

Inclusion

INCLUSION promotes environments and quality relationships that affirm, uplift, and support the perspectives, voices, and wisdom of womxn and historically disadvantaged, disenfranchised, or disinvested communities.

Our Commitments

We are committed to creating just and sustainable impact by integrating innovative solutions, fostering collaboration, and disrupting social change. We are committed to fostering equity by addressing systemic barriers and promoting fair opportunities for all clients, colleagues, and partners. We are committed to valuing diversity by ensuring varied perspectives and growing culture where everyone thrives. And we are committed to championing inclusive environments where every voice is heard and belonging is realized.

Commit yourself to authentic culture shift

Most individuals and organizations find it challenging to connect their vision for equity with implementation in their work. Often, efforts fail because in their haste to improve, they inadvertently fall into the traps of tokenism, unconscious bias, and superficial techniques.

Sort Sol Group educates and develops others to break down systemic barriers in their communities and organizations. We facilitate measurable goals and outcomes to ensure your organization is advancing these core priorities.
