We are organizations with a mission to bring respect for all and bring unity and peace to our communities.  We believe in nonviolence and work to reduce violence and polarization in our society. 

We stand in support of racial justice and equity.  We acknowledge the systemic injustices that minority communities have been subjected to and offer our support to programs that address them. 

We strongly believe in nonviolent methods of social change and follow the legacy of Gandhi, King, and others who achieved social change through nonviolence. We would encourage demonstrations to be peaceful and for all groups organizing protests to ensure that there is no violence, looting, or destruction to property.
