If change moves at the speed of trust, The Alliance places a lot of emphasis on building relationships and relational trust. We have the skills to do this, especially if we slow down to get to know one another- who we are as people outside of our professional lives. This type of relational connection is a strength of our network and helps people to feel like they belong and are welcome. Resources in this section are specific to how we talk to one another, how we support ourselves and each other in relationship, and how we commit to returning back to one another in community again and again.

Gender Pronouns Resource Guide- Pronouns are the words we use to refer to a person in place of their name. Pronouns are helpful linguistic tools, but they also are meaningful tools to communicate identities and experiences.

Political and economic power is part of our lives and communities. Who has it, who is denied it, and how it flows are all part of addressing power imbalances. If there is nothing about us without us, The Alliance is committed to putting decision-making power back in the hands of those most impacted by the decisions we are making. We also want to be working alongside one another building our personal power, since change within communities and systems is only as effective as the changes we’re willing to make inside ourselves. Resources in this section are specific to valuing lived experience, systems change work, justice/equity/diversity/inclusion work, and advocacy.
