The governing ethos of Adult Academy can be summed up with a phrase from the Wisdom of Tecumseh: “Seek to make your life long, and its purpose in the service of your people.”
We want to bring about a world filled with people who model and display the importance of Empathy, Agency, Mutual Aid, Self Reliance, Resilience, and Kindness.
We believe that structural inequalities exist around the globe. We believe that Black Lives Matter; Trans Lives Matter; Indigenous Lives Matter. We believe these statements are ethical statements and not partisan ones.
We believe that all art is political.
We believe that change is brought about through education, empowerment, direct action, and modeling.
