- Equity. Power and resources have been unjustly distributed in our society, disproportionately impacting many lives – particularly people of color. We are committed to creating space for the leadership of those most impacted by inequity, and mobilizing resources, power, and love to right these wrongs.
- Healing-centered. Healing is an environment through which any harm, past or present, can be named, witnessed, contained, and redirected towards wisdom, honor, and love. EJUSA puts healing at the center of our work and our vision for justice, creating a community of staff, board members, system actors, healers, and trauma survivors whose response to harm is repair.
- Partnership. Change takes more than the work of any one organization. We are committed to movement-building through deep relationships that emphasize strengthening the capacity and confidence of local change agents. We believe that our impact as a national organization depends on unwavering respect and authentic partnership with leaders on the ground.
- Transcending Divides. Some differences are deemed irreparable and intractable. At EJUSA, we reject that assumption, creating new pathways for dialogue that generate learning, transformation, and action.
