IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY CARE NEEDS

At CYP, we practice community care and break free from the chains of anti-Blackness, and white supremacy culture by recognizing and confronting our roles within these systems. As a community we imperfectly practice: 

Decentering Whiteness: We actively share power and resources with those most impacted by white supremacy, colonialism, patriarchy, ableism, and capitalism. We challenge structures built on individualism and profit, prioritizing community well-being over private gain.

Embracing  Mutual Aid: We believe in the power of mutual aid as a vital form of community care, recognizing that we all have something to give and receive. Mutual aid disrupts the hierarchies of traditional charity by centering reciprocal support and shared responsibility. Through mutual aid, we provide tangible support—whether it’s food, financial resources, or emotional care—to meet each other's needs and uphold our commitment to collective survival.

Cultivating Transformative Relationships: Our relationships are spaces where material, social, and physical needs are met. We foster connections that support healing, growth, and mutual care, transforming how we relate to ourselves and each other.

Responding Restoratively to Harm: When harm occurs, we center the repair and restoration of relationships. We build beloved communities that emphasize accountability, understanding, and transformative justice, always striving to address harm in ways that heal rather than punish.

Together, we heal our way forward by practicing radical self-compassion, accountability, and solidarity. This is how we embody our commitment to a just and liberated future for all.
