Peace and Justice

We are one family, whatever our nationality, ethnicity, faith community, economic and ideological differences. We are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers, wherever or whoever they may be. We envision a society that promotes human dignity and the capacity of all individuals to learn and grow, a society which is supportive of all peoples. In a society that is troubled by deepening divisions amongst us, politically, economically, socially and morally, as a moral duty we advocate for and stand in solidarity with the most oppressed of those among us. We speak for those who have no voice. We advocate for and with the poor, with prisoners, with people of diverse backgrounds, people of all types and persuasions, with the underserved and disenfranchised, and with all those who are left vulnerable by society. Therefore, we support systems, causes, actions and laws that lead to the fulfillment and accomplishment of these objectives.
