Our Ten Principles and Values

What do we use to guide us?

Anyone who follows these core principles and values can take action in our name.

1. We have a shared vision of change creating a world that is fit for the next 7 generations to live in.

2. We set our mission on what is necessary mobilising 3.5% of the population to achieve system change – such as “momentum-driven organising” to achieve this.

3. We need a regenerative culture creating a culture which is healthy, resilient and adaptable.

4. We openly challenge ourselves and this toxic system leaving our comfort zones to take action for change.

5. We value reflecting and learning following a cycle of action, reflection, learning, and planning for more action. Learning from other movements and contexts as well as our own experiences.

6. We welcome everyone and every part of everyone working actively to create safer and more accessible spaces.

7. We actively mitigate for power breaking down hierarchies of power for more equitable participation.

8. We avoid blaming and shaming we live in a toxic system, but no one individual is to blame.

9. We are a nonviolent network using nonviolent strategy and tactics as the most effective way to bring about change.

10. We are based on autonomy and decentralisation we collectively create the structures we need to challenge power.
