OASIS is a proud Family Values @ Work Initiative |
Our Values | OASIS was designed intentionally to be grounded in values that support collective and transformative power to be used for the purpose of developing democratic institutions in state legislatures. |
Building Power that Centers Equity We are committed to helping equity and justice-focused women and non-binary legislators to build power, influence and longevity in their chambers. | People-Centered We center the experiences of people facing the most barriers to power and resources, and those facing all forms of injustice. | Systems that Serve We are committed to creating systems that serve people and communities and changing those multiple systems that, intentionally or unintentionally, oppress or cause harm. |
Justice We are committed to anti-racism and justice for all people facing oppression – racial, gender, economic, social, environmental, LGBTQ, reproductive and disability justice. | Gender Inclusive We aim to support cis women, trans people, non-binary and gender-fluid people. We appreciate and value a broad range of gender expressions and identities. |
OASIS Guiding Principles | Being deliberate about how we do our work is as important as what we achieve. |
Multi-generational Wisdom & Priorities We learn from our ancestors and believe all decisions should be made with future generations in mind. | Collective Power We believe change is possible through collective power building and working in collaboration. | Learning Community We will learn and unlearn together with honesty, patience, humility, authenticity and intentionality. We will name and learn from our missteps. |
Growth through Discomfort & Diversity of Thought We lean into our discomfort, generative conflict and multiple perspectives. | Wellness We prioritize our wellness and joy and celebrate our wins. | Abundance We will not work from a scarcity mindset and pit our communities against one another. |
Work Well We believe how we do our work is as important as what we achieve. |
