We seek to lead beyond binaries, beyond assimilation, even beyond equality to subvert existing social systems and institutions. Thirsting for justice and railing against oppression connects our actions and desires to others who press for a return to sustainable ecological and economic balance, and to the elimination of sick systems of cultural beliefs such as white supremacy and anthropocentrism. We challenge the dissociated Western culture belief in “progress” and recognize that if we do things the same way, we can only come to the same conclusions. We choose the radical paths of love and respect and trust and honesty and risk taking, and we honor that while there is no one “right” way, we cannot fail if we forge healthy relationships together.
