Our Values
The inherent power of the individual: We know the people we work with hold the power to initiate and advance positive change in their communities, and it’s these people who must be the leaders in campaigns to improve their lives.
Communities of liberation: We work to create a world without oppression. We recognize that the roots of oppression run deep systemically and within ourselves. We implement strategies of anti-oppression within every facet of our organizing and within our organization itself.
Achieving nonviolent solutions using nonviolent strategy: The MSPJC was founded on the nonviolent principles of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. We know that the most powerful change can only be brought about using nonviolent means, and we are dedicated to practicing and teaching nonviolent action.
Our Objectives
