I envision a world where

  • human health and a sustainable ecosystem go hand and hand

  • what is good for the individual is also a priority for each community and nation

  • we respect both culture and the environment

  • each human life is valued with dignity and honor

  • each of us has the physical, financial, mental, and spiritual support to achieve our dreams

  • self-care and community care are mutually supportive

I am committed to

  • deepening my understanding of social justice, anti-racism, and cultural appropriation

  • eliminating oppression in all its forms within myself and within my community

  • making money ethically and sharing my wealth

  • taking time off to rest and restore

  • donating to marginalized and underprivileged communities

  • reducing, reusing, repairing, and recycling

  • shopping local, buying directly from farmers, trades- and crafts-people and purchasing objects that will last and can be repaired

  • cooking for myself and my family

  • caring for the earth in my choices and learning more about how to have a sustainable lifestyle that’s supportive to me without exploiting other people or the earth

  • fostering compassion, kindness, and acceptance for my community
