WHAT WE BELIEVE IN

Every Human Being has basic needs and rights which we are entitled to just by the fact of being Human. Among these is the right to basic necessities to maintain life such as: Healthy Food, Clean Water, Adequate Housing, Clothing, Health Care, Education, Dignity, Safety, Freedom of Movement and Expression, and many more.

All communities have the right to self determination: we affirm that power rests within our community not with state and federal governments or profit driven and war mongering corporations.

We build power by assisting communities in organizing around their own needs and individual struggles. We do not lead the People, the People lead us.

Over half of the people in this country, and billions more worldwide, survive within or on the edge of the abyss of poverty. This is criminal and unacceptable.

Our organizing will focus on the needs and from the perspective of impoverished and oppressed communities, and our leadership must be drawn from them.

We are migrants, refugees, diasporic, displaced peoples. We respect, acknowledge, and join the fight by Indigenous peoples to regain control of their sovereign land and resources against the military, economic, and ecological terror of corporatism and imperialism.

The continuing criminalization of people based on economic status, race, ethnicity, gender, disability, immigration status, or sexual orientation is a control mechanism that currently holds millions of people in modern day concentration camps in the US alone.

We recognize that true public safety comes only from stable and equitable communities. We will engage in collective learning with our communities about police-state tactics. We will support and engage in resistance and non-compliance with laws, policies, procedures and actions that violate our community's civil and human rights.

History proves that dogmatic adherence to rigid ideology can serve the same divisive function as the imperialist’s control mechanisms. Our responsibility is to assist our communities in actualizing their self determination through the example of our practice.
