FRAMEWORK
As long term organizers, we do this work with an understanding that liberation for our communities is achievable within our lifetime. We lead our work with values from an abolitionist framework.
We are not trying to be millionaires or replicate harmful capitalist structures. We are instead trying to function under a consumerist society and create survival as trans, queer, undocumented, and disabled people who are pushed to the margins.
