We believe in furthering our community’s priorities and are committed to listening to their voices and expertise.
We support the voice and active engagement of youth, who will be our community’s next generation of leaders.
We are led by and work for the rights of people of color and for the benefit of all our neighbors.
We work in solidarity with partners and allies who share our values across age, race, sexual orientation, class, gender, faith, language, and immigration status.
We value including diverse voices and welcome those who share and demonstrate our core values to join the coalition.
We believe that attention and resources must be prioritized for communities that need them most so that disparities in life outcomes can be reduced and eventually eliminated.
We are stronger when we work together. We practice shared responsibility and leadership and maintain our commitment to one another.
We hold decision-makers and ourselves accountable to be receptive to the needs and wishes of our community.
We are dedicated to building a long-term foundation for a healthier community by increasing our community’s capacity to achieve policy and systems transformations that promote equity and justice.
