We recognize that we have a responsibility to address systemic racism within our own organization - including the racist history of our namesake - and the broader environmental movement. Black individuals and the Black community must be respected, honored and valued within our own house and in the birding community. This requires a culture shift within the Audubon community well beyond this week. We are committed to building a workplace environment that is respectful and kind and where Black, Indigenous, people of color, women and everyone across the gender spectrum are respected.
