Our Anti ti-Oppr Oppression ession Val alues es

RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together we use our voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty. Poverty cannot end as long as oppression exists. We commit to opposing all forms of oppression, including racism, classism, colonialism, white saviorism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, and religious discrimination. At RESULTS we pledge to create space for all voices, including those of us who are currently experiencing poverty. We will address oppressive behavior in our interactions, families, communities, work, and world. Our strength is rooted in our diversity of experiences, not in

• ur assumptions.

With unearned privilege comes the responsibility to act so the burden to educate and change doesn’t fall solely on those experiencing oppression. When we miss the mark on our values, we will acknowledge our mistake, seek forgiveness, learn, and work together as a community to pursue equity. There are no saviors — only partners, advocates, and allies. We agree to help make the RESULTS movement a respectful, inclusive space.​ Find all our anti-oppression resources at: https://results.org/volunteers/anti-oppression/

• Poverty

erty is driven en by oppression. RESULTS opposes all forms of oppression.

• Government has an important role to play in ending poverty. Elected officials work for
• us. We need to supervise them.
• Poverty is not partisan.
• Nobody should be denied their basic rights to healthcare, education, or economic
• pportunity.

We must take action now.

I never er imagi agine ned I would be on a firs rst t name e basis is wi with h my MoC

Bukekile Dube, RESULTS Dallas

For me, advocacy is personal. This is about my family. I organized RESULTS advocates to write him (my MoC) letters before he was even sworn in. We scheduled an in-person meeting. (We’ve met with him 6 times and counting!) I attended his public events “Coffee with Constituents.” I wrote a letter to the editor thanking him and addressing him directly (his mom read it in the newspaper!). The next time we met, his staff thanked me, he greeted me like an old friend and eventually said yes to my request.

Here’s how we got there:
