We strive to promote peace and social–economic justice in our homes, community, nation, and world. Recognizing that we are members of the global community, we seek to promote the use of peaceful means to reach the goal of a just, caring, and peaceful global society. We use the tools of education, advocacy, and witness to achieve these goals.
