OUR VALUES

CCEJ uses an anti-oppression and liberatory framework to guide our work and organizational culture. Within this are the following guiding principles:

  • No one is disposable: Everyone is important and we need everyone in this work.

  • The United States was built on oppression: Changing how it fundamentally works is the only way to truly end oppression for all.

  • No one is free until all of us are free: Oppression and justice for all of us are interconnected.

  • Justice can only be achieved together: Working for justice demands that we build solidarity and work to be allies.

  • Another world is possible: Oppression can and will end through our collective work.

  • Restorative choices are always available to us: Responding to conflict in ways that build accountability and trust is always a choice we can make.

  • Healing work is justice work: In order for us to work for the long run, we must center self-care, healing and building resilience in our process.
