APALA's Principles For Collective Liberation

APALA has seven principles for collective liberation and organizing stronger communities. We developed these as a way to stay grounded in
how we are working together for a future where we all eat. Just like the beginnings of the Asian American and Pacific Islander movements, our
visions and values are rooted in Black liberation, Indigenous sovereignty, and solidarity with all struggles for collective liberation. All of our struggles are connected and we cannot win one without another.
