Their motto, in a sense, is “Think Systemically, Act Collaboratively.” There were a wide range of opinions at this conference as to how to move forward, but one phrase that described the sentiment of the group stuck with:

Unity, not Uniformity.

We have the ability to reach consensus, even in large groups. But we do not need to achieve consensus on all things before moving forward. We need to work together where we can, and recognize the barriers when they arise. I think that phrase represents the spirit of collaborative action:

Unity, not Uniformity.
