Systems of power, privilege, and oppression have traditionally created barriers for persons and groups with particular identities, ages, abilities, and histories. We pledge to do all we can to replace such barriers with ever-widening circles of solidarity and mutual respect. We strive to be a center for health and healing that truly welcomes all persons and commits to structuring the center in ways that empower and enhance everyone’s participation.
We intentionally welcome all. We foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. We value the diversity of differences which includes (but is not limited to) gender identity and its expression, age, race, ethnicity, and national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, financial means, family structure, educational and class status and political perspective.
