  1. Circumstances can conceal capacity

    Communities already contain knowledge, skill, creativity and lived experience. Housing instability, poverty, food insecurity, transportation barriers and daily survival can keep that capacity unseen or underused.

  2. Human worth remains unconditional

    People are a productive resource before an institution decides they are. This principle concerns capacity and opportunity. It never defines the value of a human life by economic productivity.
