COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
We are committed to upholding ALL Black People.
Our Commitment to Privacy, Honesty and Trust in Community Building:
1) Liberation Farm will never share our database with individuals or other entities for any reason, except in the cases where a person may present a dangerous and/or violent element to any individual or our entire community. For example, your driver's license or passport id is to identify you and keep the community safe, not to share data in return for any resource or reasoning.
2) Liberation Farm is devoted to providing necessary information to our community and therefore, require honest applications for security purposes, for love or learning who we are as a common place to interact. For example: While we note the racism within the court and law enforcement system, we will not allow convicted racists or pedophiles in our space, and when presented with any new documentation we may find, it is ethically and morally correct to inform our community.
3) It is always difficult to Trust.
Our Trust Metrics: Trust the dedication of only Black organizers' i) who possess the history and longevity in the Black Power movement ii) which must be coupled with their visible public commitment to Black People in their messaging as Unapologetically Black. For example: Co-owners of Liberation Farm Omowale Adewale and Nadia Muyeeb-Adewale have served the Black community with a combined invaluable high-commitment of 30+ years, creating spaces and actions on behalf of Black People, notwithstanding, valuable individual and collective internal and external criticisms and self-criticisms.
