Our guiding principles
Collective Power
Power is organized people (relationships) and organized resources (money, land, networks, privileges). Organized people are our most valuable resource. Collective power identifies the abundance present in community and amplifies it.
Community Organizing
Community Organizing nourishes collective power to address systemic oppression at the root. This work is only possible when it is led by impacted communities. Our role is to accompany, convene, and facilitate communities to organize.
Transformational Change
Impacted communities have the power to fully tap into the abundance that is already present to transcend barriers to their autonomy and self-determination. The fruits of transformational change include liberation, justice, joy, peace, and human flourishing.
