Overview

GOOD TO BE GOOD is an intersectional, community-wide, grassroots humanitarian and advocacy organization with a mission to serve women and gender-diverse people from marginalized communities and help build a kind and equal world. Our vision for an equitable, compassionate, and sustainable world is guided by a feminist, anti-oppressive, anti-racist, trauma-informed framework and the values of compassion and interconnectedness. Our rights-based and service work is rooted in a commitment to women's empowerment, equity, justice, and liberation. It ensures a gender-responsive focus that centres on issues impacting women, particularly BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) women, girls, and gender-diverse persons from communities subjected to marginalization. Our efforts use an intersectional and holistic approach to respond to their urgent and unique priorities, while bringing awareness to the underlying causes and longstanding systemic inequities that make people vulnerable in the first place. We combine restorative and empowering supports, programming, and advocacy for women and gender-diverse people in our communities who have felt the effects of inequity—from gender-based violence and structural poverty, to unequal treatment—to realize gender equality for all. GOOD TO BE GOOD is based in what is currently known as Canada.
