As an organization, The Ruckus Society’s operating principles include the “Jemez Principles” and the “Environmental Justice Principles.” These principles mean we move towards our vision of sustainability and self-determination through organizing that values natural operating systems, understanding the power of uncovering the root causes of problems, and asking, “What are the root problems in my community, and what do deep, foundational, rooted solutions look like?” This is thinking from a place of healing, more than dominating others with our beliefs.
