Since 1975, PJALS has engaged everyday people to build a just and nonviolent world through community organizing and grassroots leadership development for peace, human rights, and economic justice. We are independent of all candidates, elected officials, and parties. As a 501c3 nonprofit organization we are not able to support or oppose any candidates or parties, and that includes access to any organizational resources such as our communications channels. PJALS encourages open and respectful discussion and debate toward a just and nonviolent world. Keep posts & comments respectful & constructive. Hate speech, personal attacks or vulgarity will result in removal of the offending post. This includes posts that advance racism, sexism, heterosexism, violence, or other forms of oppression or domination. http://pjals.org/values shares our Values & Commitment Statement & our Community Agreements: OUR PJALS VALUES & COMMITMENT: Adopted by the PJALS Steering Committee on July 26, 2016 In our PJALS community, we believe everyday people can accomplish extraordinary things together. We strive to draw from our differences to increase and enhance effective action to build a just and nonviolent world. Our values ask us to honor and respect our web of different life experience to work collaboratively, sharing power and decision-making. Our work is guided by leadership of people directly impacted by the problems we seek to address, both among our PJALS community and in our broader community and world. We recognize our shared humanity and commit in the following ways to neither harm a member nor see a member harmed: *Use an intersectional racial equity lens in all of our work. *Call each other in, not out, when we make mistakes. *Use decision making processes that engage our diverse community. PJALS COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS: Our shared expectations of how we communicate and work together, approved by PJALS Steering Committee in December 2015. Respectful communication: We all make safe & welcoming space for us all, so that we can take action together on our shared goals. No oppressive statements. If oppressive behaviors or statements are made, use Oops/Ouch to name, address, own, & learn. Share the air. Support each other. Be curious. Challenge assumptions. Work from “sound and current data.” Share your experience & perspective. Learn from differences. Be aware of our choices. Let’s choose consciously, not reactively. Learning and Improving: We evaluate together so we can learn from our experiences. Focus together: Limit distractions in meetings or workshops. One conversation (not sidebars) in meetings or workshops. Contracting & re-contracting: Make clear agreements about who’ll do what by when.
