1. ASSET: Everyone is an asset. We all have something to give to others that is of great value.
2. REDEFINING WORK: Some work is beyond a monetary value. Work can be redefined to value whatever it takes to raise healthy children, build strong families, revitalize neighborhoods, make democracy work, advance social justice, and make the planet sustainable. That kind of work needs to be honored, recorded, and rewarded.
3. RECIPROCITY: Reciprocity is key. Helping works better as a two-way street. The question, "How can I help you?" needs to change so we ask, "How can we help each other build the world we both will live in?" Social networks are necessary. Networks are stronger than individuals. By connecting and helping each other, we can reweave communities of support, strength, and trust.
4. EQUALITY: At the heart of every exchange is equality. An hour is an hour, regardless of the service. All people are valued equally.
5. RESPECT: All human beings deserve respect. Respect underlies freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and everything we value. Respect supplies the heart and soul of democracy. When respect is denied to anyone, we are all injured. We must respect where people are in the moment, not where we hope they will be at some future point.
