Equal rights and equal opportunities for all people must be guaranteed, and all forms of discrimination must be eliminated, by leveraging our diverse backgrounds, beliefs, cultures, genders, abilities, races, sexual orientations, and socio-economic statuses.
Social justice efforts must be informed and guided by the leadership and experiences of communities most impacted.
