Principles
SHARE POWER We redistribute power so that decisions and actions can be made by people in the community.
VALUE DIFFERENCE We embrace the richness of human life experience as a valuable asset and actively seek to include people with diverse experiences and perspectives.
CHOOSE COLLABORATION We draw strength from our collaboration, our connection and our responsibility to one another.
EARN AND MAINTAIN TRUST We believe trusting relationships are the bedrock of meaningful change so practice openness, transparency and accountability.
CHALLENGE ASSUMPTIONS We ask difficult questions of ourselves and others, agitating and telling the truth when it is the right thing to do. We’re not afraid of shaking things up
BE PREPARED TO BREAK THE RULES We know that too many rules uphold systemic inequality and need to be examined and challenged regularly. To keep our code on the edge, we regularly challenge our own rules.
PROTECT WHAT MATTERS We protect people and the planet by respecting boundaries and putting human and environmental welfare before the need to generate surplus. We value impact over surplus.
SHARE THE SURPLUS The surplus generated is the result of collective actions. The collective decides where the surplus flows. All individuals receive an equal share. Bonuses are given by the collective to individuals doing less desirable tasks or an exceptional job.
