Values and Mission Statement

The purpose of the Sunbeam City Cooperative is promote what we believe to be the values of the solarpunk movement. These values include:

• Post-Capitalism
• Social, economic and ecological justice
• Permaculture, green/appropriate tech, and sustainable living
• Cooperation, community and mutual aid
• Decentralisation, democracy and self-empowerment
• Knowledge-sharing

The Sunbeam City cooperative will fulfil these values by:

• Investing and running technologies which empower users, away from highly centralised structures
• Educating and spreading awareness of the solarpunk and adjacent movements
• Providing mutual aid for its members
• Providing support for other groups who share our values

The Sunbeam City Cooperative aspires to the values set by the International Cooperative Alliance.
