Values
Our organizational values represent the way we work with partners and colleagues. We apply these values to our mission-driven work and to our organizational practices.
Justice
We believe that all people have the right to health, justice, dignity, and opportunity. We work to dismantle oppressive and racist systems, laws, and policies and replace them with laws and policies that address the root causes of health inequities.
Learning
We are always learning. We take risks, reflecting on our failures and our successes in order to strengthen our health equity work.
Collaboration
We believe that complex problems are best solved through partnerships across multiple disciplines and sectors that maximize collective resources and align actions to advance health equity.
Community
We learn from those we work with, and we respect lived experience. We acknowledge that our lives, histories, and futures are interconnected, yet not all voices have been equally heard or valued — which is a barrier to health and equity.
Integrity
Our solutions in service of health and equity are grounded in evidence, legal precedent, and community-led change efforts.
