We support Black women by centering their vision, power and well-being while being intentional about what work they/we are tasked with. White co-conspirators and anti-racist allies within the group take on specific tasks to prevent burdening of Black women and femmes. Like the National Steering Committee, we operate from a Black Queer Feminist lens.

We are restorative in our operations, ensuring that we navigate the stresses, complexities, and intensities of organizing in holistic, mindful ways that invigorate rather than deplete our organizers. We engage norms and values that support restorative practice.

We are collective in how we function and (re)imagine spaces that we work in.  In contrast with the individualist nature of White Supremacy culture, we work from a collectivist and leaderful framework.  

We are intersectional in our organizing and understanding of the racial justice issues we confront within education. We recognize and work to break down the amplified barriers and burdens faced by Black people who are further marginalized due to ableism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and classism.
