Our
Beliefs
We believe we have
a moral responsibility to make Kansas a better place for our children
and all future Kansans.
We believe we can
accomplish little as separate individuals, but that together we have
power to end discrimination and inequality based on religious beliefs,
race, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, and poverty.
We believe we must
educate state and local policy makers to ensure that all voices are
heard at every level of government to create economic opportunity and
foster social justice.
We believe our
strength and effectivness depends upon the active participation and
commitment of coalition members in solidarity with each other and our
allies.
We believe we have
a special mission to bring economic and social justice to those most
exploited in our communities.

is fulfilling and fairly rewarded.
