*QPIRG-McGill recognizes a) the structural injustice and un/conscious
prejudice that colour our experiences and that we live in a society rooted
in oppression, b) the nonexistence and impossibility of a "level playing
field" with regards to people's experience and job qualifications and
methods of evaluating the above, as well as the need to compensate for these
inequalities in our hiring policy, c) the need for experience, knowledge,
and guidance from oppressed people's experience within any
progressively-oriented organization.*

communities bring to our organization, and invites native people, people of

as individuals who identify with marginalized communities, would bring to
the QPIRG-McGill organization, in their cover letter or resume.*

*We regret that the QPIRG-McGill office is not currently
wheelchair-accessible. Feel free to contact us for further information about
