Mission
1) We recognize the radical ability of youth, students, and sexual and gender diverse people to support ourselves, build our own futures, and identify our own needs.

2) We believe in creating events and spaces where sexual and gender diverse lives are central, not marginal. We recognize space and services for sexual and gender diverse people as a radical act.

3) We will, to the best of our ability, operate and organize in intersectional, transparent, accessible, and humble ways. We recognize the value of authenticity and letting the process show.

4) We will work to decenter and remake relations of power in our spaces and communities so that it is power with and within, rather than power over. We believe that we all can do this work in ways we each define.

5) We recognize UBC, the AMS, and the resource groups, including us, are present on unceded Musqueam land. We acknowledge these imperialist roots and work to unsettle our collective.

6) We believe that we all deserve safer communities and spaces, and to demand more safety and accountability from our community members. We believe we must strive to be accountable for our words and actions.

The Student Environment Centre is an AMS Resource Group for individuals within the UBC community who are environmental and sustainability-focused, or are interested in learning more about this. We provide resources, in the form of funding and advising for the UBC community, relating to projects and events that are sustainability-focused or that are aiming to be more environmental. We are actively involved in organizing, promoting, and supporting various initiatives that critically examine the interactions between humans and the environment. We also organize events throughout the year on campus, and monitor our ongoing project, the UBC Free Store.

Mission
The Social Justice Centre is a resource group that works toward progressive social change, inclusivity, and equity through a survivor-centric, harm reduction, radical, feminist, decolonial, anti-oppression framework. We understand all of these elements as important for striving towards the liberation of all beings, while attending to the ways in which we are differently situated and privileged on these unceded Musqueam lands.

Mission
The WomenÔÇÖs Centre exists to support anybody of the UBC community and beyond who share intersecting histories of sexual and colonial violence, classism, ableism, racism, homophobia, transphobia (and so on). Specifically, we exist to support anybody that has faced gender-based oppression and has experienced, will experience, or is experiencing womanhood. Its coordinators recognize that patriarchy is only one (important) aspect of an interlocking system of power and oppression, that safe spaces are not guaranteed, and that continual efforts to maintain openness, respect, and honesty are crucial for anti-oppressive organizing and ways of relating to one another.

The Centre strives to provide a space for community-building, discussion, sharing, and resistance. We offer couches, brochures (with information about resources), event posters, menstrual products, safer sex products, pregnancy tests, a library of feminist literature, microwave, food, and kettle. We also offer consciousness raising sessions, as well as various community events.

We are a part of the Resource Groups collective. This collective is also comprised of the Pride Collective, the Social Justice Centre, the Student Environment Centre, and Colour Connected Against Racism.

The Women's Centre at UBC acknowledge that our space, our organizing, words and beings occurs on the occupied, traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples ÔÇô specifically the sß©Áwx╠▒w├║7mesh (Squamish), sel╠ô├¡l╠ôwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and x╩Àm╔Ö╬©k╩À╔Öy╠ô╔Öm (Musqueam) nations. We also acknowledge that acts of systemic colonization against Indigenous folks are currently taking place in an ongoing manner within institutions, power structures and language use. This includes the enforcement of a colonial gender binary, and the ways in which this has affected Indigenous peoples and lands. We must partake in recognizing our positions and complicity in settler colonialism on these stolen ancestral lands and work towards returning these lands back to nations of Turtle Island.

Additionally, we also acknowledge that there is no singular definition to womanhood. That indeed, part of the colonial project was and is instilling a colonial gender binary onto Indigenous bodies. As such, the Women's Centre exists to support anyone facing gender-based oppression and welcomes all women (trans and cis), as well as non-binary and Two-Spirit folks to use the space and get involved.
