OUR APPROACH
Our approach is holistic, rooted in equity, and striving towards liberation. Every aspect of Praxis, from organizational culture to program content, is shaped by our commitment to the foundational truths that guide our work.
We believe that realizing our vision for the world calls for:
WHOLENESS
​We are most able to reinforce our resilience, fully engage, and make meaningful contributions when we can bring our complete selves. This requires prioritizing our well-being by integrating rest, repair, and healing into our social justice practice. We recognize to do this work, we must nurture ourselves individually and collectively.
CONNECTION
We live in an interdependent world that links all of us, regardless of how our identities overlap or diverge. We look to those connections to ground and inform our work. By being in genuine relationship with ourselves, each other, and our communities, we cultivate a sense of belonging, engage in mutual learning, and build collective power.
CREATIVITY
It is possible to forge a radically new world. By examining our roles within existing power structures, we open ourselves up to reimagine systems, explore possibilities, and create alternative approaches that cultivate a more just and equitable world.
ACTION
True progress requires self-reflection, imagination– and collective action. We can all be changemakers. We must disrupt oppressive systems to enact change and be accountable to the communities we serve. We reject complacency and embrace our transformative nature. There is no praxis without action.
JUSTICE
We strive to amplify the voices of historically oppressed individuals and communities, centering their experiences to ensure that our practices transform the systems that uphold inequities. When the most marginalized among us attain liberation, our entire community benefits.
