Our Mission:

NC Peace & Justice is a statewide, movement-building coalition that links, coordinates and supports groups addressing peace and justice issues

Our Strategy:
Linking Communities
Supporting Organizers
Amplifying Voices
Mobilizing for Action
Confronting Oppression
Nurturing Solidarity
Building Grassroots Power

Our Principles of Unity:

We link the wars abroad with the assaults at home, and U.S. militarism to the corporate economic interests it serves. One of our fundamental aims is to make the peace movement a strong ally to movements for social and economic justice.

We pay special attention in all aspects of our work to the inclusion and leadership of constituencies bearing the brunt of the war’s impact at home, such as people of color, youth, women, and workers.

We are pro-active in addressing power dynamics within our movement, especially regarding issues of race, class, gender, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, nationality, disability, cultural heritage, and ethnicity. We will strive to embody in our day-to-day work the values we espouse and the world we seek to build.

We support and encourage grassroots organizing. We encourage progressive, peace and justice-oriented individuals to affiliate with a network, organization of community of people to build power and effect change.

We uphold the right of all people to determine their own future, free from the threat of “pre-emptive attacks” and “regime change,” military occupation, and outside control of their economic resources.

We call for the peaceful resolution of disputes amongst states; respect for national sovereignty, international law, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the defense and extension of basic democratic freedoms to all; social and economic justice; and the use of public spending to meet human and environmental needs.
