The Akonadi Foundation is guided by a commitment to:
• Leadership of communities of color: Efforts to achieve racial justice must be defined and led by the communities of color most effected by structural racism;
• Intersectionality: Efforts to achieve racial justice must be synergistic with efforts to achieve economic, gender, and other forms of justice;
• Leadership from the field: Foundations must support and be led by the ideas, innovations, and needs of organizations directly involved in the work of racial justice.
"Culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle."
