Vision

We value diversity and justice.

We believe that we all benefit from the racial, ethnic, religious, economic, gender, sexual and age diversity in our communities. That diversity will be represented in the organization and will make us more powerful and effective. We believe there is no equality without justice. When we speak about justice, we are talking about fair treatment of and access for all people regardless of race, gender identity, economic status, age, and sexual identity.

We value diversity and justice.

We value leadership development.

We believe leaders are made, not born, and anyone is capable of becoming a leader. We believe that developing grassroots leadership is essential to building power and making positive change in our community.

We value leadership development.

We value people power.

We believe power is simply the ability to act, and through organizing we bring people together and build collective power.

We value people power.
