Values
|
Solidarity We believe in the power of collective action and mutual care. By standing together across communities, workplaces, and movements, we resist hate and division, build resilience, and create lasting change. |
Democracy Real democracy means more than just voting—it means ensuring that power is shared, institutions are accountable, and all voices are heard. We work to strengthen democratic spaces, challenge authoritarianism, and empower people to shape the decisions that affect their lives. |
Freedom We are fighting not just against far-right hate, but for a world where all people are free from oppression, exploitation, and fear. Freedom means dismantling systems of inequality and building a future where justice, dignity, and human rights are at the centre of society. |
