The Creative Equity Roadmap is developed in partnership between Creative BC and Elevate Inclusion Strategies. This resource was developed as an industry-focused support to increase cultural competence and inclusive practices within the motion picture industry's businesses and systems. It complements the Creative Pathways project, which is focused to serve British Columbians seeking access to careers in the motion picture industry.

The Creative Equity Roadmap is intended to serve Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDDI) work across the motion picture industry in B.C. It is:

    • a starting point, an invitation for collaboration and a contribution to the many important public materials being generated;

    • focused on supporting industry - the creative businesses, organizations and companies, recognizing that employers, labour organizations and industry associations have a particularly important role to play in changing systems;

    • intended as a practical approach, offering a high level framework for understanding the steps required as an organization for advancing the principles of Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity and Inclusion;

    • offers a shared language and method centering on Commitments and People Practices by which B.C.'s motion picture industry may collectively consider and advance the principles of Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity and Inclusion;

    • seeks to amplify the growing network of resources available in B.C. and Canada to support our collective work in this evolving field.

How to Support Your Jewish Colleagues Right Now

Creative Equity Roadmap

In 2022, organizations spent approximately $9.3 billion on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. But the inclusion of our Jewish colleagues and the rise of antisemitism is seldom acknowledged or included in those efforts.

In 2021, antisemitic incidents reached an all-time high in the U.S. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), this increase represents the highest number ever recorded since the organization began tracking them in 1979. It translates to more than seven antisemitic incidents a day and a 34% increase year over year. In addition to these attacks — assault, harassment, and vandalism — there has been a number of influential individuals over the years making headlines for antisemitic remarks and hate speech.

It’s time organizations acknowledge and include the experiences of Jewish employees in DEI efforts. This resource provides tips for how leaders and individuals can support their Jewish employees and colleagues and fight antisemitism in their workplaces.
