Common Ground is a community gathering centered on Black ecologies, collective care, and the relationships that connect us to the work, the land, one another, and the futures we are building.

Created for Black women, femmes, and gender-expansive people across ecology, evolution, marine science, environmental science, conservation, environmental education, natural resources, and related fields, this gathering celebrates Black brilliance and joy while cultivating belonging, meaningful connection, and collective possibility.

Spend the day with BWEEMS and members of the Bay Area community connecting across disciplines, generations, organizations, and career stages. Common Ground will create opportunities for conversation, learning, relationship building, reflection, joy, and simply being together in a space created with our community in mind.

This isn't just another professional networking event. We are creating space to get to know one another as people, build the relationships that sustain us, exchange support and resources, celebrate what we are doing, and imagine what becomes possible when Black women, femmes, and gender-expansive people are deeply connected.

Together, we are building the relationships, care, and community we need to thrive, flourish, and shape environmental futures where we are seen, valued, supported, and deeply rooted.

Come find your people. Come build community. Come as you are.
