VALUES

Everything is a collaboration

1

Good Trouble Makers is a collaborative experiment where a community of magical mischief makers come together for a moment, a season, or a lifetime to co-create embodied projects towards the future we all need and deserve. 


Chronic projects

2

Our projects are chronic, just like our pain, our illnesses, our disabilities. We embrace chronicness as a value that means ongoing, lingering, reshaping as our understanding shifts. Our work is chronic: born of slow deep companionship over a lifetime.


We WANT to fail

3

Good Trouble Makers wants to fail. At white supremacy, at urgency, at ableism, at cis-heterotivity. We embrace failure as a sign we’re moving away from what we know and towards the unknown we dream of.


We move at the speed of care

4

We reschedule, reimagine, and resource each other and our shared spaces however we need each day and everyday.


Everything is embodied

5

Every Good Trouble Makers project centers the experience of our bodies, their wisdom, and needs.


Make it fun

6

Changing the world must be fun, because the world we’re dreaming is full of fun! We practice joy, fun, and play now, together. 


Crip 4 crip

7

We understand our work as a sacred site of not leaving each other behind. We celebrate and care fiercely for our own and each other’s d/Disabled bodies and minds.
