Payne-Phalen District 5 Planning Council

GOOD NEIGHBOR TEAM VALUES

Picture

The following statements will guide our organizing work.

Good Neighbor Organizing Values Statement

• Our organizing approach must become broadly inclusive of all residents in District Five.
• We will identify and celebrate the strengths and improvements that occur and our focus will be on creating solutions. Practical action will shape our agenda.
• District Five resources and staff time are conserved and applied when neighbors have organized collectively. The Council seeks to support individuals who are ready to organize collective solutions to community problems. Help is offered to all, and we will not do for others what they can do for themselves.
• Resident renters and homeowners can lead efforts to improve our quality of life.
• We will counter racism or ethnocentrism expressed through word, act or intent.
• We will make decisions through democratic process.
• People and institutions who profit from owning, maintaining, or perpetuating problems in our neighborhoods cannot expect our support.
• As much as possible, problems should be addressed at the level at which they occur.
