Our Values

Liberation   

We strive to work in ways that promote liberation, that is, the ability for every individual to have and pursue a wide range of choices unlimited by their identity markers or conditions at birth. We believe that diversity, equity, inclusiveness, belonging and justice are essential factors that can lead to true liberation. We believe that liberation facilitates our ability to realize and experience the fullness of our humanity.
