4. A The Principles of Working Together require affirmation of the value in diversity and the rejection of any form of racism, discrimination and oppression.  To support each other completely, we must learn about our different cultural and political histories so that we can completely support each other in our movement inclusive of ages, classes, immigrants, indigenous peoples, undocumented workers, farm workers, genders, sexual orientations and education differences.

4. B The Principles of Working Together affirm the value in our diversity.  If English is not the primary language, there must be effective translation for all participants.

4. C The Principles of Working Together require respect, cultural sensitivity, patience, time and a willingness to understand each other and a mutual sharing of knowledge.
