Advancing our Mission, Vision, and Theory of Change Through Our Core Values
EQUITABLE
We believe that everyone will live a more prosperous life when systems of oppression no longer exist and there is fairness, justice, and liberation for all.
COMMUNITY
We are committed to building solidarity through being present for one another, learning with each other, and cultivating meaningful relationships that lift us up collectively. Storytelling is one of our most powerful assets.
LOVE
We operate from a place of love and compassion. We are open-minded about the ways to make social change. We believe Love is:
L = Linking & Liberating
O = Open-hearted & Inclusive
V = Vibrational & Valuable
E = Extraordinary & Abundant
BRILLIANCE & CREATIVITY
We believe that radical passion comes from collective wisdom and radical imagination - expressing ourselves freely and authentically through culture, art, dance, graphic design, poetry, music, on stage, off-screen, on canvas, and more.
BALANCE & PERSONAL GROWTH
Growth is not linear and we honor that process. We are committed to everyone being their full selves by recognizing our needs, wants, and limitations. We understand that when we are grounded in community and work towards our healing, we can better live out our visions of transformative change.
