OUR ORGANISATION
Friends of the Earth Ireland is a community at the heart of the
growing movement here for a just world with zero pollution. Our
mission is to campaign and build movement power to bring about the
system change we need for a just world where people and nature thrive.
We are trying to change the world in the face of opposition from
powerful vested interests and we need committed, energetic and
flexible people on our team.
STATEMENT ON SOLIDARITY, PARTICIPATION AND INCLUSION
A commitment to solidarity, participation and inclusion is one of the
fundamental values of Friends of the Earth. We therefore endeavour to
ensure that everyone, particularly marginalised and disadvantaged
groups who might be affected by policy are considered and included in
the conversation. We acknowledge our privilege as people working in an
NGO and understand the fact that there may be barriers to
participation. We strive to expand and diversify civic engagement, by
creating spaces for everybody to participate and be included in
activism and political change.
As part of this commitment to the values of solidarity, participation
and inclusion we strongly encourage applications from those with
identities under-represented in the environmental movement, for
example: people of colour, LGBTQIA+ people, those seeking asylum or
with refugee status, people with a disability, or people are who
members of an ethnic minority.
