Office of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI)

Fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.

State
Fair treatment of people of all races, cultures, and incomes with respect to the development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. California Gov. Code, § 65040.12, subd. (e)).

Social Justice

Recognizes that predominantly Black, Indigenous, people of color, low-income, and rural communities have historically been underrepresented in the policy setting or decision-making process;
subject to a disproportionate impact from one or more environmental hazards; and
are likely to experience disparate implementation of environmental regulations and socioeconomic investments in their communities.

Equity

A process of eliminating disparities and improving outcomes for everyone.
Intentional and continual practice of changing policies, practices, systems, and structures by prioritizing measurable change in the lives of people.
“Closing the gaps” so that race is no longer a predictor of outcomes, while also improving outcomes for all. 

Diversity
The existence of variations of different characteristics in a group of people. These characteristics could be everything that makes us unique, such as our cognitive skills and personality traits, along with the things that shape our identity (e.g. race, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, cultural background among others).

Inclusion
The practice or policy of providing equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized(opens in new tab), such as those who have physical or intellectual disabilities and members of other minority groups.

Equitable Governance Principles for Protected and Conserved Areas
From the World Commission on Protected Areas (PDF):

Equity in conservation is a matter of governance and includes recognition and respect for actors and their human and resource rights, equity in procedure (e.g., participation, accountability) and equitable cost/benefit distribution.

Recognition

Recognition and respect for all relevant rightsholders, stakeholders, and California Native American Tribes and their knowledge and values (identities, values, knowledge systems and institutions).
Full and effective participation of all relevant actors in decision-making.

Executive Summary
Child Welfare System Serves to Keep Children Safe and Strengthen Families. When children experience abuse or neglect, the state provides a variety of services to protect children and strengthen families. The state provides prevention services—such as substance use disorder treatment and in‑home parenting support—to families at risk of child removal to help families remain together, if possible. When children cannot remain safely in their homes, the state provides temporary out‑of‑home placements through the foster care system, often while providing services to parents with the aim of safely reunifying children with their families. If children are unable to safely return to their parents, the state provides assistance to establish a permanent placement for children, for example, through adoption or guardianship. These various services constitute the state’s child welfare system.
Accessibility | California State Senate
For example, individuals with service animals are welcomed in the California State Senate offices, even where pets are generally prohibited.Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity of the California State Senate, should contact the ADA coordinator as soon as possible but no later than three (3) business days before an event. Later requests will be considered and accommodated to the extent feasible.The ADA does not require the California State Senate to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs or services, or impose an undue financial or administrative burden.Complaints that a program, service, or activity of the California State Senate is not accessible to persons with disabilities should be directed to the appropriate ADA coordinator:For requests or complaints relating to the accessibility of websites:E-mail: ADA.Coordinator@legislativecounsel.ca.govAddress: Office of Legislative Counsel, 925 L Street, Suite 900, Sacramento, CA 95814Phone: (916) 341-8330For requests or complaints relating to the accessibility of facilities or effective communication:E-mail: ADA.Coordinator@sen.ca.govAddress: Senate Committee on Rules, 1020 N Street, Room 255, Sacramento, CA 95814Phone: (916) 651-1504The California State Senate will not place a surcharge on a particular individual with a disability or any group of individuals with disabilities to cover the cost of providing auxiliary aids/services or reasonable modifications of policy.California State SenateGrievance Procedure Under the Americans with Disabilities ActThis grievance procedure is established to meet the requirements of Title II of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”). It may be used by any member of the public who wishes to file a complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of disability in the provision of services, activities, or programs by the California State Senate.Submitting Your ComplaintA complaint should be in writing and contain all facts, documents, and other materials relevant to, and in support of, the alleged violation of discrimination, including name, address, telephone number of complainant and location, date, and description of the problem.
Accessibility - CalPERS
The resolution of any specific grievance will require consideration of varying circumstances, such as the specific nature of the disability; the nature of the access to services, programs, or facilities at issue, the essential eligibility requirements for participation; the health and safety of others; and the degree to which an accommodation would constitute a fundamental alteration to the program, service, or facility, or cause an undue hardship to CalPERS. Accordingly, the resolution by CalPERS of any one grievance doesn't constitute a precedent upon which CalPERS is bound or upon which other complaining parties may rely.
CalPERS' ADA Coordinator shall maintain ADA Grievance files for at least three years.

Caltrans Equity Statement

Acknowledgement
Published: Dec 10, 2020
Download printable version (PDF)
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) acknowledges that communities of color and under-served communities experienced fewer benefits and a greater share of negative impacts associated with our state’s transportation system. Some of these disparities reflect a history of transportation decision-making, policy, processes, planning, design, and construction that "quite literally put up barriers, divided communities, and amplified racial inequities, particularly in our Black and Brown neighborhoods." 1
Caltrans recognizes our leadership role and unique responsibility in State government to eliminate barriers to provide more equitable transportation for all Californians. This understanding is the foundation for intentional decision-making that recognizes past, stops current, and prevents future harms from our actions.
Statement of Commitment
We will achieve equity when everyone has access to what they need to thrive — starting with our most vulnerable — no matter their race, socioeconomic status, identity, where they live, or how they travel. To create a brighter future for all Californians, Caltrans will implement concrete actions as outlined in our Race & Equity Action Plan, regularly update our Action Plan, and establish clear metrics for accountability in order to achieve the following commitments:

People - We will create a workforce at all levels that is representative of the communities we serve by improving our recruitment, hiring, contracting, and leadership development policies and practices.

People - We will create a workforce at all levels that is representative of the communities we serve by improving our recruitment, hiring, contracting, and leadership development policies and practices.
Programs & Projects - We will meaningfully engage communities most impacted by structural racism in the creation and implementation of the programs and projects that impact their daily lives by creating more transparent, inclusive, and ongoing consultation and collaboration processes. We will achieve our equity commitments through an engagement process where everyone is treated with dignity and justice. We will reform our programs, policies, and procedures based on this engagement to avoid harm to frontline and vulnerable communities. We will prioritize projects that improve access for and provide meaningful benefits to underserved communities.
Partnerships - By leveraging our transportation investments, we also commit to increasing pathways to opportunity for minority-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises, and for individuals who face systemic barriers to employment.
Planet - We commit to combating the climate crisis and its disproportionate impact on frontline and vulnerable communities — such as Black and Indigenous peoples, communities of color, the people experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, and youth. We will change how we plan, design, build, and maintain our transportation investments to create a more resilient system that more equitably distributes the benefits and burdens to the current and future generations of Californians.
