Our work is possible because it recognizes the potential and power of AFIRE’s leadership, members, community partners, and donors to mobilize together towards a liberatory future. Our work is possible because we believe: liberation from oppression requires action and is a journey that begins with us; the powerful and diverse wisdom of our community anchors and moves us; moving together comes from a shared place of understanding; it is important to honor one another’s time; our work is done with and within community; uplifting and recognizing our differences makes us human. Our work is possible because we look to our history to learn from and acknowledge our past, and to our values, frameworks, and current programs and practices to ground in the present and vision for the future. 

We are, each of us, essential to AFIRE’s ecosystem of possibility. We are different parts of it at different times. By working together, we ensure that at any time, each part supports another, and possibility becomes self-sustaining. Join our ecosystem of possibility today!
