We believe and are committed to...
- Equity is essential, equality is not enough.
- If it is not for all, it is not equity, it is another form of oppression.
- Black Lives Matter.
- Matter is the minimum. Black lives are worthy, beloved and needed.
- Women's rights are human rights.
- All abilities are valuable.
- Trans women are women.
- Trans men are men.
- All genders are valid.
- All ages deserve respect.
- We listen to Autistic Adults.
- Science is important.
- Love is love.
- Disabled folks are whole.
- The stigma on mental health must end.
- All bodies are beautiful.
- Climate change is real.
- Neurodiverse people aren't broken nor need to be cured, they simply perceive things differently; Neurodiverse folks are valid as they are.
- Intersectional awareness is necessary.
- Marginalised folks’ lives matter more than privileged folks’ feelings.
- Water is life.
- Consent is the minimum.
- Having your basic needs met is an inalienable human right.
- As long as you are not harming yourself, anyone else or imposing your beliefs on others, you have a right to your own religious or spiritual beliefs, or lack thereof.
- An inability to see, respect and honour the full humanity in any human being, to see them as your full equal, is a place where your own humanity has been compromised.
- Those of us with more systemic privilege have a responsibility to be actively changing the system because we have more social resources and systemic power to do so.
- Not because marginalised folks CAN'T do it, but because they shouldn't have to.
- Those of us with more systemic privilege need to be listening to, believing and following the lead of people who understand these dynamics better than we ever will.
- We understand that we will never understand. However, we stand.
- Not being racist, misogynistic, homophobic (etc.) is not enough, we need to be anti-racist, anti-misogynistic, anti-homophobic (etc.).
- As the Autistic Community says, "Nothing for us, without us" (true and important for any marginalised community).
- None of us are free until all of us are free.
- Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
- Human decency is the minimum, not the exception.
- Solidarity and social justice are verbs.
- Change is necessary, urgent and inevitable.
- This is our responsibility, and yours.
