OUR VALUES:

We are a decolonial, abolitionist, antiracist, anticapitalist organization.  We center those most impacted by structural injustice, and endeavor to never be extractive in our storytelling or activism. We see our relationships with impacted families and communities as long-term partnerships, and are committed to them on multiple levels, from adding capacity to their campaigns for justice, to fundraising for their urgent needs. We learn from, train, and build power with communities striving for a liberated world, from Palestine to Turtle Island and beyond.
