With Gratitude to the Lineages That Guide Us
This work is not ours alone. It is shaped by the wisdom, labor, and struggles of those who came before us—elders, activists, scholars, healers, and communities who have long been tending to the work of justice, liberation, and repair. We honor the many lineages that have carried the knowledge of relational accountability, resistance, and collective care, often in the face of violence, erasure, resistance and survival.
We give thanks to the Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color who have been at the forefront of anti-oppression work, teaching us what it means to dismantle systems of harm while nourishing new possibilities. We acknowledge the movements for abolition, decolonization, disability justice, and queer liberation that continue to show us the necessity of transformation at every level—personal, organizational, and systemic.
This work is never done alone. We are held and guided by those who have walked these paths before us, and we are committed to carrying forward their teachings with humility, responsibility, and care. May we honor these legacies not just in words, but in practice.
