Mission Statement
Peace is the Way to Peace Mission Statement of Neighbors for Peace
We want peace among all people. We support and would take part in peaceful alternatives to respond to September 11 and other conflicts.
We condemn acts of terrorism, including state terrorism, and we mourn its victims. We support an international effort to bring the perpetrators of all terrorist actions before the International Criminal Court.
We Demand fundamental changes in U.S. foreign policy: from militarism and global domination to cooperation among all nations in creating a healthy, peaceful and sustainable planet where the dignity of every person is respected. We therefore oppose the U.S. making war in Afghanistan, Iraq or elsewhere.
We Adhere to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which among other things prohibits unjust, inhumane and illegal detention. We oppose secret military tribunals and any legislation that limits civil liberties.
We demand our government recognize in practice the worth of all people and work to eliminate ethnic and belief-based discrimination, profiling, and racism. We work for a more equitable distribution of the world's wealth and disapprove the policies of welfare for and protection of multinational corporations at the expense of working people.
We implement practices of peace and justice as we conduct our meetings, sponsor events, and educate ourselves and the public. Peace leads to peace.
