We believe:

• Collaboration has an amplifying effect, offering individuals and organizations the potential to create positive change. 
• Generating positive change must include diverse participation, drawing upon collective experience and wisdom. 
• Accessing collective wisdom is possible through proven approaches that prompt individuals and groups to collaborate and co-create in an environment of openness, shared understanding, and mutual respect. 
• Open collaboration that centers healthy communities and a healthy Earth cannot ignore that natural resources and access to land have been dominated by white supremacist and patriarchal systems. 
• Being actively anti-racist and intentionally inclusionary magnifies the potential in each individual and every organization.
