Women's Values
Envisioning a world where the diversity and sacredness of all life is honored and respected, we commit to support and act on those principles based on fundamental human values that women hold sacred.
|
The women at the 2012 Grassroots Women's Congressworked in deep listening circles to explore what they each considered the values they would want their children and grandchildren to experience.
There were several small circles with lots of respectful sharing and space holding for their common desires for the good of their families and of their country to emerge.
Each group ended up with 1 or 2 large sheets of papers that were hung around the room in which we gathered.
The agreement was that there were need to be 98% consensus of the entire Congress for the values to be accepted.
One proposal was to condense the large list by consolidating some concepts that were similar. That was not accepted by the Founding Women.
The common feelings were, "Now, my voice is lost." "This is what happens to me my corporate meetings," "My ethnic words are discounted."
Therefore, the entire list was put before the group. It was agreed to with only one woman abstaining.
These values and the voices of the Founding Mothers have stood firm from that moment forward.
It is time for other women to rise up, call to gather in greater power.
Mothers and Grandmothers declaring a culture of Good for their families will never go away!

When values that cause Good for all in the web of life become policy, actions from them change the direction of LIFE.
Examples:
- What is good for the children removes toxins from all food and makes nutrient rich food available.
- What is good for the environment stops coal emissions and works with the natural world to sustain all life.
- What is good for economic stability puts the emphasis on equal pay and valuing of workers.
- What is good for sustainable contribution identifies natural, innate skills as value to be compensated.
