We believe self-love is the root or origin of our relationship to ourselves — that we come to this planet as LOVE.
We believe we need an extreme form of self-love to counter the constant barrage of shame, discrimination, and body terrorism enacted against us every single day.
We believe our society needs a drastic political, economic, and social reformation in the way in which we deal with bodies and body difference.
We believe radical self-love is the foundation for radical human love.
We believe radical self-love is indeed our inherent natural state, but that the systems around us have distanced us from that knowing.
We believe our work in this movement is to move the world closer to a self-love that is fundamental, a powerful force for social, political, and economic change, and a way of living clearly inherent in all that we think, say, and do.
We are radical on purpose!
