Values
Developing Strong Relationships: We believe that transformation occurs when community members, old and new, come together in ways that are mutually beneficial and self-sustaining.
Building Community: We believe that all of our neighbors, regardless of background, can make meaningful contributions to our community, and that intentional engagement with diverse experiences and approaches engenders vitality.
Fostering Equity: We believe that every voice and experience must be honored and respected, and that we must actively confront the barriers that hinder access to critical resources. We provide support to individuals and families regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, cultural background, country of origin, language, legal status, disability status or political affiliation.
Promoting Solidarity: We believe in the critical work of dismantling the systems that perpetuate violence against people of color within our community and across our nation. Standing with those who are persecuted within our own borders is fundamentally intertwined with our work to promote a just, secure and equitable environment in partnership with our newest neighbors. We are cultivating a future in which all people, of all backgrounds and identities, can call this country home — a future in which we are truly free.
