These are the agreements that define our work:
We agree to struggle against racism, sizeism, transphobia, classism, sexism, ableism, and the ways we internalize myths and misinformation about our own identities and the identities of other people.
We know that no space can be completely “safe” and we agree to work together towards harm reduction, centering those most affected by injustice in the community even if it means centering ourselves.
We agree to sit with the discomfort that comes with confronting the complexities of harm, repair, identity, and accountability. We agree to try our best not to shame ourselves for the vulnerability that this kind of work requires.
We agree to value the viewpoints of other people that do not challenge or conflict with our right to exist nor with the right of others to exist. .
We agree to do our best to embrace discomfort. We know we don’t have all the answers. We do this work in community. Our clients are our collaborators. They have just as much to teach us as have to teach them.
