In recent years, effort has been made to dismantle white privilege and better represent a diverse range of voices within the humanist movement. As Naturalistic Pagans, we are looking at this too, as any group should be doing.
In this talk, Pinn poses and aims to explore a set of related questions: What are the results of this diversity work, and how do we measure success on this front? What does it mean to push for inclusion within a country moving away from democracy and robust inclusion?
