vibe check
We understand that in a settler colonial state during late-stage capitalism, there are many reasons why organizations and individuals may not always take a loud or public stance on every issue. These reasons may include fear of cancel culture, loss of funding, institutional retaliation, or personal burnout.
Whether you’re an individual or an organization, we expect internal clarity, shared values, and a commitment to accountability. This isn’t just about content, aesthetics, or clout—it’s about building something deeper: capacity, coordination, and culture-shifting community.

intentional community building vibe check
Being in community requires grace, boundaries, and the ability to navigate disagreement without defaulting to harm or fragility
Everyone is doing their best, and there is space to know better and do better
Not everyone shows up in the same way
The goal is to build something bigger than any one individual
This space is for being in community—not just getting content ideas or exposure
This is not about clout or aesthetics—it’s about building capacity, coordination, and culture-shifting infrastructure

Team Humanity Vibe Check
The following is not a vibe check of your content, rather, is a vibe for you as a person
Collective liberation is the goal. Survival within this system is the reality. Both must be held.
Colonization is not in the past—it is active, ongoing, and shapes so much of our world's current reality.
The system protects the powerful 1% and punishes the rest of us. That’s not dysfunction—it’s design.
Corporations, billionaires, and institutions are not neutral. They profit from exploitation and avoid accountability.
Fascism isn’t a hypothetical threat—it’s here, and it must be opposed in all forms.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere - "imperialist white supremacy capitalist patriarchy", a term coined by bell hooks, explains how these issues are not separate—they reinforce each other.
Climate justice is indigenous justice
Genocide is always unacceptable, this includes (but isn't limited to) the genocide of Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island, the Holocaust and the ongoing genocide of Palestinians
Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, Trans, Queer, Disabled, Migrant, Women, and Lower Income folks have long experienced systemic violence and oppression in Canada.
Human rights of all people should be upheld
membership expectations
This space is intentionally designed to hold difference—to make room for profiles with large followings who are values-aligned, even if they express that alignment in different ways.
But let’s be clear: that doesn’t mean anything goes. Not everyone will be a fit for this space, and that doesn’t mean that we’re ‘failing’ to unite the left.
Alignment doesn’t require sameness, but it does require shared values and a baseline of trust. If someone crosses a line that violates our collective commitments to justice, safety, or humanity, and they remain uninterested in growth they will be removed.
That’s not exclusion—it’s integrity.
“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”
