We think life is about more than punching a clock.  In a reasonable world, each of us would have the surplus time and energy to be fully realized community members, siblings, children, neighbors, lovers, intellectuals, parents, and whatever else our hearts might long for.  And we'd have the opportunity to meaningfully determine the course of our lives and our communities. 

Brighter Days is our way of putting that ethic into practice. 

Whether it's our commitment to workplace democracy, our commitment to ecologically sustainable tools and materials (relying on bikes rather than cars, using biodegradable waste bags, etc), our relationship to grassroots community organizations, or our commitment to empowering our workers and clients alike to pursue lives that go beyond self-interest and survival... This is more than just a job to us. 

It's an expression of our belief that each of us is capable of better.  Our labor should enrich and celebrate our lives, not degrade and shorten them.
