The editorial board includes prominent scholars such as Yehuda Bauer, David Nirenberg, and Deborah Lipstadt, and the journal's editor is Catherine Chatterley.
The organization's website states that it "is a registered Canadian charity committed to the uprooting of hatred and stereotypes through progressive education and by working cooperatively to build a more humane future for all people.
