Our peers

Our neighbors

Our communities

We start with empathy

seeking to recognize ourselves in one another

Finding strength in our differences,

We find ways to stay together

Where others step back - we lean in

to listen and learn

to actively participate in solutions

to share the responsibility of every task

We believe healthy communities have contrast

of experience and culture

of gender and race

of belief and conviction

We give more than we take

by leaving things better than we found them

by shining spotlights more than we seek them

by prioritizing people over process and profit

We collaborate on ways to move forward

with a stubbornness for justice

with a willingness to grow

with humility and creativity

Together - we create spaces for stability, support, and hope
