“For a sliding scale to work it relies on the principles of truthfulness, respect for complexity, and accountability. I do not ask for income verification. I trust my clients to be honest. Community thrives when accountability is a central value, because that is where trust grows and depth work can be done.” – Alexis J. Cunningfolk
