We recognize that many Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, individually and in groups, have already been carrying these movements and that many of our struggles are shared. We are committed to working hand in hand with those who have shared values and vision.

The voices and experiences of BIPOC must be centered in conversations and calls for change at the level of community, institutions, and local government.

Spirituality grounds our practice.

Joy, self-care, and celebration are integral parts of how we sustain ourselves and practice the liberation we are seeking.

Mindfulness in cross-cultural exchanges establishes accountability to the messenger and maintains integrity within ourselves.

We draw power, teachings, and inspiration from our ancestors to guide our way forward.

The solutions to our problems can be found by and within the BIPOC community.

As a community, the Alliance is always evolving, always learning, and paying attention to what is emerging. We will be steadfast in our values, and adapt together as we grow together.

BIPOC should be remunerated for their knowledge, efforts, and expertise.

Prophetic Practice: Does not mean telling the future; it means naming the truth of the times. (Rev. Angel) We recognize that colorism and anti-blackness exist within our own communities, and this reality must be a part of our conversations if we are committed to justice and liberation.
