Waiora:

Our wellbeing is bound up with te Taiao. Disabled leadership and wisdom are key pillars of environmental and climate justice. Our interdependence is key to the thriving of all life. We think intergenerationally in service of our mokopuna and emerging generations. 

Ngā Manukura:

While recognising the diversity of experience within our community, we affirm that embracing disability and disabled leadership can powerfully help counter prejudice, stigma, and shame, and lead to better collective outcomes. We honour the wisdom of our disabled elders and ancestors while creating space for rangatahi leadership. 

Te Mana Whakahaere:

Upholding disabled people's self-determination individually and collectively is key to our liberation. Decisions are made directly at the appropriate level or in the appropriate sphere by those affected. We advocate for ways of working where "nothing about us without us" and honouring Te Tiriti go hand in hand.
