Community-Based Organizing<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We believe that there is power in the people<\/strong>. We want to rally a community of members<\/strong> with shared interests and values who are concerned over the current and potential abuse of CRISPR\/Cas onto animals to bring more visibility <\/strong>to these issues and organize advocacy <\/strong>efforts. Together, we can bring the change needed<\/strong> in our government and our institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating an Inclusive Community<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We understand the importance of buildsing an inclusive, diverse, and equitable community. The Association for Responsible Gene-Editing recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion in our movement and is committed to uplifting voices from all different backgrounds. We are committed to ensuring that our organization is a safe space for all different identity groups to find power in, and we do so by supporting DEI initiatives in scientific research and community based DEI programs. We also care about creating a diverse community of members within our own organization, and will work relentlessly to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ARGE also acknowledges the disproportionate impact of issues regarding animal welfare and animal farming can have on oppressed communities[2]<\/sup>. Our work is mindful of and incorporates this dynamic into our advocacy as we seek to amplify advocates who discuss this issue from an intersectional point of view that addresses this disparity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
