Drupal layout block types

Vic is testing different types of blocks on this page

Vic is seeing how the block types appear and what options are available. Not sure why I can't create a new tab panel but i can pull some existing ones.

How We Serve Agencies

We work with agencies to establish PEAR teams and relational partnerships. These two factors go hand in hand to lay the foundation for transformational change. By supporting them with strategies, tools, techniques, and resources, we help them develop their own approaches that are rooted inside their agency. When applied properly, this can help aid in work culture shifts that cause significant positive outcomes for those they serve. Over time, these procedures become normalized and reinforce themselves based on the positive impacts they create.

How We Serve Community

Our state government work is grounded in public service to Washingtonians. Understanding the need to center those we serve in our overall strategy allows us the opportunity to align our actions appropriately. This awareness creates an anchor for our work that should always be guided by the experiences people in Washington have through their interactions with us.  To exemplify this for other agencies is key to how we apply the model of PEAR and belonging. Although much of our work is agency based, we know that we are working to change policies, practices, and procedures for the benefit of Washingtonians. This is why we identify as an entity who also serves community.

Panel - Values

Access

Creating and supporting barrier-free design, standards, systems, processes, and environments so that all individuals, regardless of ability, background, identity, or situation, can participate in, use, and enjoy the benefits of: employment, programs, services, activities, communication, facilities, electronic information technology, and business opportunities.

alt text

Belonging

Values and practices that ensure no person is left out of our circle of concern. Belonging means more than just having access, being seen, or feeling included. It means that every member of society has a meaningful voice, that their well-being is considered, and that they can participate in the design of political, social, and cultural structures.

alt text

Dignity

We respect the sacred nature of each individual’s personhood. We honor the worth due each person by virtue of their existence as a human being. Human lives have an unimpeachable value simply because they are human, and therefore deserving of a baseline level of respect. That baseline requires more than the absence of violence, discrimination, and authoritarianism. It means giving individuals the freedom to pursue their own happiness and purpose.

alt text

Equity

Systemic, full, and true access to opportunities, power, and resources that allow all people to achieve their full potential and thrive. Our actions and decisions will be guided by the following principles of equity (RCW 43.06D): 

  • Equity is not equality. Equity requires developing, strengthening, and supporting policies and procedures that distribute and prioritize resources to people in identified groups who have been historically and currently are marginalized, including tribes;
  • Equity requires the elimination of systemic barriers that have been deeply entrenched in systems of inequality and oppression; and
  • Equity achieves procedural and outcome fairness, promoting dignity, honor, and respect for all people.

Justice

We make or do right that which has been done wrong. We embody what love looks like in action.

alt text

Love

Sometimes defined as a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties. Love requires us to:

  • Fumble Forward: The idea that we are each on a journey. We recognize that while we are on this journey, we are doing the best we can with the tools, conditions, and knowledge we have. We will have compassion and care for one another as we grow. 
  • Stay committed; stay open; stay adaptive: Our collective willingness to embrace the concept that words matter and that the labels we ascribe to ourselves are not simply ways of being “politically correct,” they are validations of our humanity. We create and support belonging by expressing love to one another and treating others as they want to be identified and treated. We will check our fear-based decisions to ensure a better future for all is achieved.
  • Be humble: We own our stories, points-of-view, successes, and mistakes. We admit we do not know everything, in fact no one does, and that instead, we all have something learn from one another. We acknowledge there are things we do not know so we can approach each other with love.
