Our Principles & Values

Any person or group can organise autonomously and take action in the name and spirit of XR so long as the action fits within XR’s principles and values. In this way, power is decentralised, meaning that there is no need to ask for permission from a central group or authority.

  1. We have a shared vision of change

    We are committed to creating a world that is fit for the next 7 generations to live in.

  2. We set our mission on what is necessary

    We commit ourselves to mobilizing critical mass of the population to achieve system change – such as “momentum-driven organising” to achieve this.

  3. We need a regenerative culture

    We are creating a culture which is healthy, resilient and adaptable.

  4. We openly challenge ourselves and this toxic system

    We are ready to leave our comfort zones to take action for change.

  5. We value reflecting and learning

    We follow a cycle of action, reflection, learning, and planning for more action. Learning from other movements and contexts as well as our own experiences.

  6. We welcome everyone and every part of everyone

    We work actively to create safer and more accessible spaces.

  7. We actively mitigate for power

    We break down hierarchies of power for more equitable participation.

  8. We avoid blaming and shaming

    We live in a toxic system, thus no one individual is to blame.

  9. We are a nonviolent network

    We use nonviolent strategy and tactics as the most effective way to bring about change.

  10. We are based on autonomy and decentralisation
    We collectively create the structures we need to challenge power.
