Community Commitments

01.


Trust Black & Indigenous Women

We aim to follow the grounded assessments, intuition, and guidance of Black & Indigenous women as a practice of trust.

02.


Gender Justice

We must commit to equity for non-male, non-hetero, and non-cis people and protect them from harm, including being targeted by the criminal legal system.

03.


inclusion

We must not play into the politics of “othering” any other group of people but instead seek liberation for all oppressed people.

04.


Movement Ecosystem

Three big, interdependent transformations must work together to achieve abolition: changing our relationships with ourselves and each other (personal transformation); Building enough people power to dismantle the politics, entrenched interests, and institutions of the criminal legal system (organizing); and creating new visions of our communities that have new norms, new institutions and new ways of responding to harm (building alternatives).

05.


Communities of Reciprocity

We are reviving the concepts of communities built on deep connections and practices of giving, gratitude, and mutuality.

Help us keep up the work for accountable public safety.
