– Our actions respect the life, well being, and dignity of all people.
– We are colorful, beautiful and playful. We are courageous, bold and willing.
– We bring creativity and ritual to actions and to organizing.
– We give people a taste of the energy and power of magic, and show a glimmer of what ist possible.
– We seek actions that allow people to participate at different levels of risk. We strongly value support roles as well as front-line roles.
– We model solidarity with other activitsts, on the street, in jail, in the courts, in the press – even though we may not agree completely with their tactics or their politics.
– We mobilize magical support for our actions.
– We transform tense momentes and places to create a sense of safety and possibility.
– We recognize the violence directed against our movement, and acknowledge the toll of the trauma. We consciously integrate healing into our politics/actions.
