We believe in the power of democratic participation as fundamental to inclusive, equitable governance.

We uphold a bold approach to transformation that combines optimistic, forward- looking thought with context- specific actions anchored in the present and informed by a nuanced understanding of history.

We believe that decision-making processes, international agreements, and institutions must understand and respond to the interconnected nature of various forms of oppression and discrimination, including gender, race, class, sexuality, and ability.

We are dedicated to challenging power imbalances by recognizing the interconnectedness and interdependence of humanity and leading with fairness, compassion, empathy and centering the well-being of others.

We uphold the principle of transnational political solidarity, transcending our differences. We actively forge alliances and cultivate partnerships with democratic institutions, activists, movements, and policymakers who align with our shared values and interests to enhance our collective work.

We perceive joy as a means of transformation, placing care at the forefront of our efforts, and rejoicing in our shared achievements.
