Our Values
As abolitionists, we work toward the dismantling of punitive systems, such as prisons, policing, and other forms of institutionalized violence.
We believe that safety and justice are achieved through community-led practices of care, accountability, and transformation, not through incarceration and punishment.
We are committed to the abolition of borders and systems of displacement.
We believe that all people have the right to live freely, to migrate, and to seek safety and opportunity wherever they may go.
Our advocacy and programming aim to dismantle the systems that criminalize movement and separate communities.
We believe in the power of small, intentional actions.
By nurturing tight-knit, supportive communities, we lay the foundation for larger systemic change.
Every conversation, relationship, and act of care contributes to the larger web of healing and justice.
Our work is grounded in the understanding that all things are interconnected.
Healing is not an individual pursuit, but a collective one.
We foster networks of mutual aid, recognizing that the well-being of one is inextricably linked to the well-being of all.
We practice radical honesty in all our interactions, acknowledging the complexity and difficulties of our work while striving to create spaces where truth can emerge without fear of judgment.
We understand that healing and transformation begin with an honest appraisal of where we are and where we need to go.
As advocates in our community, we recognize that political tides are ever-changing.
Like water, we transform and adapt ourselves—whether through material transformation or through the spiritual work of healing justice—to be better equipped to meet our region’s challenges.
We honor our histories, knowing that the wisdom of past generations offers valuable lessons for today.
Our programs center the stories, struggles, and resilience of marginalized communities, ensuring that the work we do is informed by both lived experience and historical context.
We are stewards of the land, recognizing that the health of the Earth is deeply connected to the health of the people.
We care for the land with the same love and respect that the land provides for us.
Through sustainable practices and creative environmental justice initiatives, we honor our responsibility to protect and preserve the Earth for future generations.
