Mission 

In our early discussions about a mission for the EC CooP, group members identified an interest in identifying a shared purpose but also leaving our purpose open-ended. Instead of solidifying a single statement as mission, we agreed to explore our mission as a process of invention. To help us with this, we identified metaphors to think our mission with. 

As tropes, metaphors move us in unexpected directions, turning the pathway of our mission into a series of raveled relations that help us thread our respective experiences, interests, motivations, and desires together.  We are writing our way into who we are and what we do as a group, and our mission statement below reflects this ongoing and open-ended approach to making our mission come to matter.
