The maximum total score is 16, and the minimum score is -8. Here is a guideline for evaluating your scoring:

*As mentioned above, some values, such as empathy, are nuanced and may not be a key component in every proposed project. Certain aspects of some values are not negotiable, include the following:
Peaceful Action: Specifically, actions that are grounded with violent intent.
Integrity: Specifically, full and honest disclosure of intentions and outcomes of the action to the group.
Respect: Specifically, acknowledging and understanding our role/s in contributing to the issue or problem.
Equity: Specifically, building in opportunities to promote equity where possible in an action, and ground-truthing a proposed action if it is being taken on behalf of a specific group.
Education: Specifically, doing adequate fact-checking before proposing an action, to ensure that the action is grounded in truth and reality.
Respect for Environment: Specifically, ensuring that the proposed action does no environmental harm.
Connection: Specifically, being sure that this action is described and promoted in a way that promotes positive change and not negativity and/or hate language.
Collective Leadership: Specifically, being sure that you are committing to taking on a leadership role in this action, while also being open to others’ ideas to improving the action.

While different actions may score higher in some priority areas than others, as long as they don’t score negatively in the non-negotiable values areas, then the action is likely a good fit for Mariposa Action and should be brought to the group for consideration as a group branded action.

Even if your score wasn’t negative, if it was relatively low across the board, then it may not a good for for a Mariposa Action group branded action, though you may want to bring it forward as an individual action led by you or another group, and invite Mariposa Action members to join you if interested.

If your action scored negatively in any of the non-negotiable specific values areas, then this action is most likely not appropriate to bring forward to Mariposa Action as an individual action, even if led by you or another group.
