Our Culture
Our network envisions a healthy multiracial democracy where everyone is free and able to live in their full dignity. In this world, our people have agency and the resources they need to live and thrive.
It is our commitment to make sure we are modeling the values we’re fighting for in the outside world, within our own network. This starts with how we treat one another, how we learn together, and how we engage around topics about freedom and liberation.
