Took a while to figure this out, but this can be something like core values - the general ideas that ensure we have loving and honest project that accomplishes something. This part might be kinda cliche, but not really since I actually do care about this stuff and I'm not just saying it.

 

Honesty 

Being fully transparent about our processes, work, and just everything honestly. 

(we have a doc for this)

 

Hearing people 

Everyone has a perspective that needs to be valued. People's stories matter even if it's really hard to hear.

 

Simplicity 

- An approach that is simple and not overwhelming to deal with - except for those who have taken exploitation problems deeply into their heart and want to feel the full weight of this so they can love deeply.

 

Control

- Every person deserves control over themselves, their environment, and some control over solving problems that hurt them

 

Feedback 

- A project which relies heavily on feedback so we don't get too stuck in one direction that isn't helpful

 

Communication 

- Trying to kindly, respectfully, and honestly communicate with everyone around us so we can connect with eachother in a world where communication is one of our biggest struggles

- Acknowledging the limitations of our words and how they get twisted.

 

Action 

- Actually having the tools to just **do something about this evil in our world.** 

- Being prepared to handle exploitation in regular life

- Understanding our part in the overall effort against exploitation

 

Team

Everyone has a part to play in this war. 

 

 

These are things that I want to be built into whatever I do. I won't force everything on people, but if I am to lead things then I want to maintain these.
