Collaboration: By sharing our skills in science, communications, and organizing through equitable relationships with impacted communities, we provide tools and processes they can own and use in the service of self-identified campaigns. We embrace and actively seek a wide-range of viewpoints, striving to create meaningful and respectful space for partners, staff and board members with different identities and life experiences. Diversity builds resilience, and leads to wise and appropriate solutions to complex problems.
Equity: PAN is strengthened by sharing leadership and leveraging power to support campaigns and partners in frontline communities. We strive to examine and actively curtail the impact of our own power and privilege in all situations, as they are a disservice to equity. We actively seek to name and counter systemic oppression in our food system, working with communities to champion policies and practices that ensure the right to food that is safe, healthy, accessible, and culturally appropriate.
Solidarity: PAN remains true to our origins through active alliances with PAN International and partners in the Global South – as a global network, we strive for international equity. We take action to deepen our understanding of oppression and stand in solidarity with others who are dedicated to building a just world. We commit to being a visible ally and taking public positions not only on oppression within the food system, but also within the broader social justice movement.
