the DEIJ Lens and Screening TooL

What does it mean when we define D, E, I, and J in action? What happens when we ask ourselves the right questions to see if our work is upholding those definitions? In order to effectively integrate diversity, equity, inclusion and justice (DEIJ), CDRW has developed the DEIJ Lens and Screening Tool, which serves to create a common language around what DEIJ looks like in action in the Coalition and analyze our efforts to effectively center DEIJ.

The DEIJ Lens and Screening Tool is a way to reorient how we view work, roles, and relationships, while also turning daily decision-making into an intentional practice of transforming organizational systems by aligning decision-making with our DEIJ definitions. 

The short introductory video will give you a foundation of the tool by highlighting the importance of having a DEIJ Lens, how the DEIJ Workgroup created it, and what it is so you and your organization can look ahead to integrating the tool to facilitate impactful action in DEIJ!

Download the tool and start trying your hand at using it today! The CDRW DEIJ Workgroup is available to support you as you use this tool.
