Philosophy Rules and Code of Conduct Rules and Code of Conduct

The CDC is committed to the belief that we are one world, one people, all deserving of equal treatment and equitable opportunity. We place our highest dedication to the safe and just care of every person and the protections of freedom and liberty for all from any form of oppression, discrimination, or hatred.

American society has developed coercive and hierarchical social paradigms that harm minority and underprivileged populations. The CDC works to create alternative forms of social organization, striving toward a free society of free individuals. We embrace the human spirit that aims for the good of all, freedom and justice for all, and solidarity and love among the people.

In service to this philosophy, members of the CDC take an oath of service to:

· be fearless in the face of injustice;

· be brave and truthful;

· never give up or give in;

· safeguard the helpless;

· not conflate right and lawful; and

· follow all directions of senior members.

Members pledge to never be cowardly or cruel, and to make amends whenever needed. Members pledge to support and defend any person or group from harm with regards to: racial or cultural identity, gender, LGBT+ affiliation, religion, national origin, age, and ability.
