Overview
Everyone has access to the same rights and resources, and together we are responsible for guaranteeing that access.
Equity is not possible without a radical redistribution of wealth and power. Justice is not possible without healing harm and restoring the communities that were destroyed to create wealth in the first place. The ongoing harms of wars, prisons, and pipelines prevent healing from the past as it continues in the present. This means we must create new systems and structures to replace the violent and extractive ones we currently have, systems that ensure that every community has access to what it needs—from safety, food, housing, and healthcare, to education, transportation, and culture. We can call this abundance: a recognition that, collectively, we have enough. We can also call it abolition: an acknowledgement that our society is controlled by systems that are incompatible with equity and justice, and a commitment to remaking our world, together.
