Raising awareness and expanding, because action is the antidote to despair.
Who We Are.
Things we believe.
Climate Change
We acknowledge climate change and it’s disproportionate effects on BIPOC and the global south. We therefore resist further fossil fuel investment and engage in environmental activism with urgency.
Non-Violence
Violence undermines our values as first responders, medical professionals, legal advocates, and others. We will not participate in the same violent tactics used by the oppressive authoritarians that currently govern us. Violence also undermines our efforts of growing, but we do expect retaliation from those who seek to suppress revolution.
Global Community
Our community is a global one. We deny the existence of political borders, believing that no human being is illegal, especially on stolen land. We need a global proactive movement not just a reactionary one.
The Injustice System
We reject the current criminal justice system as fundamentally corrupt, and do not recognize police departments as public safety organizations, but consider them enablers of oppression. We therefore do not cooperate with police, and seek their abolishment.
Anti-Racist
We agree that Black lives matter, and therefore seek to behave as anti-racists. We seek to dismantle racist beliefs and rebel against systems of racial oppression.
Stolen Land
We acknowledge that many of us occupy stolen land. We therefore respect the wishes of the indigenous peoples who never ceded sovereignty and continue to resist the seizure of their rightful territory.
LGBTQIA+
We support the LGBTQIA+ community. We therefore denounce transphobic and homophobic attacks, be they of a physical, legal, social, or verbal nature.
Bodily Autonomy
We hold bodily autonomy and healthcare to be a human right. We hold in contempt any law, person, or system which limits the freedom of people’s rights to choose how they use and/or care for their own body. We therefore advocate for free healthcare, on-demand abortion, gender affirming care, and access to life saving vaccines and medications.
Antitheocratic
We do not support religious organizations that have a long track history of colonialism, rape, indoctrination, political influence, slavery, genocide & profiteering.
