Tri-Cities TN/VA Mutual Aid values keeping our local community organizing scene a safe space from the various ways oppressive tendencies manifest in both our systemic and interpersonal interactions. We want to oppose racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism and economic oppression in all of their various forms, and we want to take steps to encourage our network members to become better community members by avoiding these tendencies within ourselves.

That's why we are forming the Tri-Cities Mutual Aid Ethics Committee. This committee, consisting of three elected members at any given time with up to three runner-up members. This committee will help our network formulate a statement of values and take measured steps to ensure these value are upheld in our organizing space.

The candidates for Ethics Committee 2021 are: Hannah Huffines, Celeste Gonzalez, Emaline Davis, Angelia Birdsong and Nicole Bienfang.
