Anti-Racism Polciy
I, the owner of Epic Action Media Ltd actively stand in solidarity with Black, Brown, Indigenous, Minority Ethnic, and People of Colour (BIPoC) to dismantle systemic racism, white supremacy culture, and oppressive systems that are at the heart of our society.
We recognise the realities of systemic racism in our world as well as local communities and are committed to upholding an anti-racist culture, policies and procedures to the best of our abilities. To do this we will continuously examine our organisational and individual biases and work to learn, improve, and overcome them. We are committed to operating an anti-racist organisation and using our resources to advance racial equity and interrupt racism. We’re committing ourselves and Epic Action Media to a lifelong journey towards becoming anti-racist. And while words matter, they are not enough. We have taken the Anti-Racist Small Business Pledge.
Anti-racist education
We are committed to reading books and listening to podcasts by BiPoc authors and podcasters to further our understanding and knowledge of Black history, white supremacy, racism and Black lived experiences.
We work in partnership with One Tree Planted https://onetreeplanted.org/ products/womens-empowerment
We believe you can’t build a just and equitable society on a planet that’s been destabilised by human activity. The fights against climate change and racial injustice are deeply intertwined as marginalised communities are disproportionately impacted by it and we therefore support their Women’s Empowerment Fund, which supports projects that emphasises gender equity and fosters economic opportunities for women.
Epic Action Media’s long-term commitment to becoming anti-racist
We will:
continue to strive for representation in the imagery used on our website, emails and social media
review how we reach out to new photographers joining our network & take a more creative approach to reach BIPoC creative communities. We’re aware that our photographer network isn’t as representational of BIPoC communities as it needs to be or as we want it to be;
actively continue to source and support BIPoC owned businesses and businesses that support social impact in gender and climate equity;
use our business and platform for positive social impact through education;
actively protest and campaign against racial injustice, and vote for equitable policies;
call out racism when we see it;
continue to educate ourselves.
