Community Care

We lean into the abolitionist belief that everyone deserves care first. Building connections to meet the social, emotional, mental, and physical needs of one another will set us free much sooner than solution-less critique will. Gwendolyn Brooks said it best— We are each other’s harvest, we are each other’s business. We are each other’s magnitude and bond.

Transparency

Creating the world that we want will have some victories, but many more failures. Let’s embrace a culture of pragmatic, radical transparency that is open and honest about our shortcomings and challenges so that others can learn from our mistakes and achieve more than we thought possible.
