OUR VALUES:
- We commit to building justice and just relationships in our communities.
- We believe that justice is relational (rooted in our interactions and relationships with one another) and requires trust building, vulnerability, and loving accountability(link is external).
- We believe that justice requires speaking truth to power(link is external). This means courageously confronting those in power, calling out injustices, and demanding change.
- We believe that justice is rooted in liberatory education(link is external) that calls on us to examine, challenge, and reckon with entrenched power structures, internally and externally.
- We believe that justice requires us to re-imagine and rebuild (PDF) a world with radical community care (link is external)that prioritizes the healing and repair for oppressed groups.
- We believe that justice is imperfect, emergent(link is external), complex, and at times contradictory, and we cannot do it alone.
- We believe that justice cannot be sustained without celebration, joy, and gratitude for the everyday rhythms of our lives.
