Community Listserv

Our Community Listserv is a member-driven list (and google group) members can use to post and/or find jobs, events, housing and more.​ When signing up, please be sure to include your name, email and why you would like to join the list. Though we hold several co-ed events throughout the year, this Listserv is reserved for women and non-binary individuals.

​

Sign-up or visit the listserv: http://groups.google.com/group/dc-ecowomen-community

As a subscriber to the listserv you are a member of DC EcoWomen, thank you for joining.

Posting Guidelines

This listserv exists to help you—Washington, DC-area women who are interested in the environment—stay connected with each other.
​

  • This listserv is reserved for those who identify as women, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and non-binary individuals. ​

  • We encourage all members of the DC EcoWomen community to keep principles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) in mind while using the DC EcoWomen listserv.

  • Institutionalizing DEIJ thinking into this listserv helps us cultivate a safe and inclusive space and is to the benefit of the EcoWomen community, the greater DC community, and the environmental sector as a whole.​

  • We reserve the right to remove you from the list if you are found to violate our posting guidelines three times. Additionally, we reserve the right to determine when a post is inappropriate and to remove the post.​

​

Best Practices​

  • Use Subject Headers—for instance, if you are posting about a job, start the subject line with [JOB]. Useful header examples are included below.

  • Please only post your announcements once.

  • Please ensure the connection to environmental issues is explicit in your post (except in the case of housing opportunities).

  • Please do not advertise items for sale or freecycle. There are other appropriate forums for this. 

  • Do not subscribe any members of this list to any other listservs or newsletters. 

  • Job posts should ideally include salary, pay rate, and salary range in the body of the post. Withholding salary ranges is to the disadvantage of women, especially women of color, when it comes to salary negotiation. Providing salary ranges is an important step in making the environmental sector more equitable. If your employer or the organization that is hiring does not include the salary range in their job descriptions, we encourage you to ask them to do so. 

  • Please keep Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in mind for all posts—jobs, events, housing, and networking. You can do this by sharing resources and opportunities that are accessible to all (for example, events with sliding scale or free registration); sharing mutual aid and other resources that uplift women, BIPOC, and other historically marginalized groups.

 

Appropriate Posts

  • [JOB] … Jobs opportunities in the environmental field (paid, full-time, part-time, temporary, permanent, internships). Be sure to list salary/pay rate/salary range in the body of the post. 

  • [EVENT] … Upcoming environmental and professional development events (film screenings, lectures, book clubs, etc.) or other actionable items with an environmental focus, such as volunteer opportunities, scholarships, article submissions, etc.

  • [HOUSING] … Looking for and/or have housing available in the DC area.

  • [NETWORKING] … Resources, tips and/or opportunities for networking and career development in the DC area or virtually.

 

Inappropriate Posts

In order for this list-serve to remain a useful tool of communication, we ask members NOT to submit the following types of announcements:

  • Political messages

  • Newsletters

  • Items for sale or freecycle
