Values List

I've made this list of Values and you are welcome to use it in whatever way makes sense for you. Find it in multiple formats here.

Patrisse Cullors

As one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse has influenced how I think about my own needs and meeting them. Her 2019 article in Harvard Law Review gave grounding and tangibility to my abolitionist practice. I encourage everyone to read it and pick up her 2022 book, An Abolitionist's Handbook: 12 Steps to Changing Yourself and the World.
