We see the respect, care, and honoring of Mother Earth as a core value that is essential to maintaining the well-being of humanity and the future survival of all living beings. We consider this  our responsibility as humans.  

Thus, we prioritize lived experience of particular communities and home places, and value this knowledge and perspective. We stand with communities in responding to chaos and crisis deftly and courageously.

We understand relationality as key to a holistic, interconnected, and interdependent view that effectively forms the basis for reciprocity and complementarity in our actions; and honors life as a dynamic complex web. 

Thus, we engage reciprocity as an act of the whole in which funding relationships mutually exchange benefits to support just solutions for all relations, including the human and the natural world. We embrace the inherent complexity in finding integrated approaches and solutions responding to systems thinking and complex problem solving, and specificity.

We value the collective well-being of the whole that promotes community and solidarity forms of production, accumulation, and redistribution in harmony with nature, and supports the construction of a society where differences are respected within a framework of equality, justice and dignity. 

Thus, we participate in the making of restorative economies that take into account the necessary restoration required to heal the profound, interlocked ecological, economic, and social crises we are facing. We promote mutual accountability, transparency, and clarity through building trusting relationships.
