Share Your Voice, Strengthen Our Unity
NorCal CMA is committed to fostering safe, inclusive spaces for all recovering crystal meth addicts, regardless of age, race, physical appearance, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, background, disability, or other personal identifiers, while engaging our fellowship around issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in their local meetings.
We want to encourage all Norcal CMA members to submit the anonymous survey, which will take about 14 minutes to complete. We acknowledge that the survey is lengthy, but it will be instrumental in helping inform the NorCal DEI Committee on how to effectively serve our community based on the areas that are most important to our members.
The NorCal DEI Committee will host several listening sessions in San Francisco, San Jose, and hopefully another location between October and December. Please periodically check norcalcma.org for updated information regarding listening session dates, times,and locations.
DEI Primer Workshop IV
Attraction, Not Promotion - How to Welcome Diversity in the Fellowship Without Being Weird
Our eagerness to practice diversity, equity, and inclusion in CMA makes it easy to become overzealous. Instead of feeling welcomed, historically marginalized groups can often feel tokenized. If fulfilling our primary purpose means carrying the message of recovery to every addict, we must do so without being weird. In this workshop, we will learn how to be hospitable to diverse newcomers by exploring strategies that attract all people into the fellowship of CMA.

Inclusivity Statements
The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee of NorCAL CMA has collected these inclusivity statements from across the fellowship of Crystal Meth Anonymous. These statements are being used in meetings all over the world and are wonderfully diverse, yet focused on the same goal: to increase the feeling of inclusivity in CMA meetings.
We’d like to offer this as a resource for your meeting in case you would like to add one of these to your meeting script. Feel free to use these statements as is, or adapt to the needs and group conscience of your meeting.
Join the Committee
As the newest committee within NorCalCMA, the Diversity Equity and Inclusion committee (DEI) is working to build community and facilitate a conversation around these issues.
We are looking for volunteers. As we work to develop our program, we are looking for volunteers to work with the DEI chair and other members of the community.
If you would like to join the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, or you would like to attend one of our monthly meetings, please email the chair: dei@norcalcma.org.
