Values

We are guided by the following principles:

​​

  • All people have equal worth and dignity.

  • Social and political analysis must be rooted in intersectionality. 

  • Human diversity and difference are strengths.

  • Self-determination, self-expression, privacy, freedom from harm and pursuit of well-being are human rights. 

  • Unrestricted access to clean water, clean air, food and shelter are human rights.

  • Unrestricted access to true information and education is a human right and necessary for a democratic society.

  • Every person’s labor has value and deserves a thriving wage.

  • True democratic governance is a necessary component for creating and sustaining free communities and societies.

  • Preservation and amplification of culture must be at the forefront of movement work
