3 Our Anti-Oppressi ssion on Values 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 our 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.

But Motivation Must Be Greater than The Barriers to Entry 18
What are the Barriers? 19
20 20 What are the Barriers? rs? It’s new and overwhelming The group seems • • I could never be as good as disjointed —I don’t know • they are at this when they meet I don’t know anything about It’s hard to get to know • • these issues people I’ve never done advocacy— it I don’t understand when • • seems really hard they do this Nobody seems to care I’m There’s so much lingo • • around- don’t feel welcome These people all know each • other —I’m really an outsider
21 21 The Questio tion How do we ensure new advocates get what they need so their motivation stays high?
22 22 The Exercise ise Work in groups of 4 in a breakout rooms for 5 minutes. Goal: Map out your step-by-step process for working with a new advocate to overcome barriers and keep them motivated. Agenda • Introduce yourselves: full name, where you are located • Map out the step-by-step process • If a step includes a conversation, include details on what you would discuss • Be ready to share some ideas when we regroup
