Representation means taking all perspectives into account before making decisions that affect everyone. These 4 core values ensure democracy remains a valid option for shaping the world we all want to see, and I believe in amplifying the voices of silenced or overlooked communities, and standing up for them even when it’s hard or doesn’t benefit myself. I have a duty as a citizen to do what I can for my community, and I can do this, and I want to do it right.
