Safe from What?

Safe from What? Affinity Initiative & Arc’teryx panel featuring Riley Edwards

Affinity Initiative's first event, 'Safe From What? ' in early July 2021 was a panel discussion surrounding intersectionality in the outdoors, and featured our very own President and co-founder Riley Edwards (they/them)!

Topics explored included how the construct of “for all women” has always intentionally excluded Black women, First Nations women, women-of-colour, queer & trans folks-of-colour and people with disabilities, and concluded with a dialogue about how we can all take actionable steps as a collective to challenge the status quo.
