• Nourishment: We sustain our drive for community organizing by leading with solidarity, love, and compassion for each other. In partnership with other marginalized communities, we feed a collective hunger for spaces of healing and sanctuary. We organize in order to heal from both interpersonal and structural harm, as well as to move toward intentional, transformative relationships. This healing must also include sustainable stewardship of public goods and natural resources including land, air, transportation, food, water, and housing. 

• Adaptation: We approach organizing with the perspective of meeting people where they are, increasing accessibility, and pushing ourselves to grow together. Our organization prioritizes learning and adjusting to accommodate the needs of those seeking to join MVP. We expect new issues to arise with the ebb and flow of political and social systems, so MVP evolves to embrace shifting tides with both flexibility and resolve to fulfill our mission.

• Imagination: As leaders, artists, and organizers, we wield creativity to expand the perceived limits of what futures are possible. Through creative expression, we exercise autonomy over how our stories are presented and shared. We lean on our collective and varied histories to ground us as we build the future together. We do not shy away from asking each other challenging questions through critical dialogue. We are not afraid to turn forward-thinking ideas into reality.

• Commitment: Relationships in and across communities require mutual trust and effort over the long term. MVP exercises self-reflection through building deep relationships between individuals and communities. We commit to engaging intergenerationally and cross-ethnically to develop leadership capacity and build grassroots power. MVP is driven by our members and grounded in the leadership of our people. We amplify voices that otherwise risk silence or exclusion.
