The work to create a world where relationships, families, and communities are healthy, equitable, and joyful requires us to think and work broadly to address the underlying factors that drive violence.
We have a compelling vision for a world where all of us thrive.
Violence is all around us, but it doesn’t have to be that way. A better world is within reach. The time has arrived to make this future happen, and we choose all of us to flourish in this radiant new world.
We seek a radically hopeful future, where…
- people are free and have what they need to reach their full potential;
- relationships, families, and communities are healthy, equitable, nourishing, and joyful;
- government, institutions, and systems are rooted in justice; and
- all decisions are grounded in whether they will benefit our future descendants and sustain our beautiful Earth.
Justice looks like a world where…
- communities that are most affected by policies and decisions are at the center of the decision-making and have ample influence and representation to make change happen.
- individuals, families and communities are able to determine their own path toward wholeness.
- harm is addressed through a survivor-centered focus on accountability and reparations with a goal toward wholeness and restoration.
Liberation gets us to a world where…
- all of us are free and supported in reaching our full potential.
- the full humanity and dignity of all people are recognized and embraced.
- we operate from love and curiosity.
- all living things and our ancestors are honored as sacred and interconnected.
- communities thrive and are sustained by nourishing human connection.
