The right to organize, that communities should be allowed to come together in order to generate collective power for the powerless
Intersectionality, using an analytical framework to recognize how various aspects of a person's social and political identities combine to create different modes of discrimination and privilege
Educational equity, that all people deserve equitable access to educational opportunities, resources, and even teaching styles to fully excel in the academic world
Anti-racism, that individuals should put forth conscious and deliberate efforts to provide equal opportunities for all racial groups on both an individual and a systemic level
Religious liberty, the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance
Disability justice, that all individuals regardless of their physical or mental capabilities deserve equal opportunities on both an individual and a systemic level
Climate action, that both individuals and institutions should address the causes and impacts of climate change
Decolonization, the undoing of colonialism, that Indigenous communities are owed the fundamental right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status (known as self-determination)

Bodily autonomy, that individuals deserve the right to make educated, uncoerced decisions about their own bodies
Body neutrality, that present-day beauty standards actively harm those who differ in bodily shape, size, or general appearance, and rather that all body types should be equally accepted
Abolition, that systems like policing and incarceration are inherently flawed, cannot be reformed, and therefore must be replaced with alternatives that focus on the root causes of interpersonal violence through community support and victim/survivor-centered tactics
Anti-authoritarianism, that individuals deserve personal freedoms rather than be forced to submit to coercive hierarchies
Anti-capitalism, that working class individuals are deliberately exploited by the wealthy and this economic system must be changed; that the means of production should be owned and democratically controlled by the workers and/or community
