Assets:
We are all assets. Every human being
has something to contribute.
Redefining Work:
Some work is beyond price. Work
has to be redefined to value
whatever it takes to raise healthy
children, build strong families, revitalize
neighborhoods, make democracy work,
advance social justice, and make the planet
sustainable. That kind of work needs to be
honored, recorded and
rewarded.
Reciprocity:
Helping works better as a two-way street.
The question: “How can I help you? Needs
to change so we ask: “How can we help
each other build the world we both will
live in?”
Social Networks:
We need each other.
People helping each other reweave
communities of support, strength and trust.
Community is built upon sinking roots,
building trust, creating networks that are
built on mutual respect and
commitment.
Respect:
Respect demands accountability.
The voices of all must be heard and heeded
so as to promote social justices and
compel accountability.
