Mission

We, as members of the Fox Valley Peace Coalition, strive to work both within our coalition and in network with other organizations to promote peace and social-economic justice in our homes, community, nation, and world. 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.

• Specifically, we organize to:
• Educate ourselves and others to reclaim and exercise all civil liberties granted to us through the U.S. Constitution and laws of our democracy.
• Encourage healthy dialogue about peace and justice issues.
• Work for increased voter registration and fair, inclusive election policies.
• Reclaim our tax dollars for the social welfare of all citizens, ensuring public education, environmental protection, and affordable health care for all.
• Oppose military intervention as the primary tool of foreign policy and reject pre-emptive aggressions against other countries or cultures.
• Promote foreign and domestic policies based on the peaceful resolution of disputes, respecting national sovereignty, international law, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
• Encourage acceptance of cultural diversity within our society and throughout the world.
• Foster the building and maintenance of relationships between the U.S. and other countries which support world peace and global social-economic justice.
