GPJC: Where we stand

We, the people, are certain that a better world is possible. We believe in a future where all people strive to live in harmony with each other and the natural environment; where conflict is resolved non-violently; and where the root causes of social and economic injustices are eradicated.

We believe there can only be peace in the presence of justice, so as we oppose war, we also work for justice and the protection of human rights for all. We believe that peace and security at home are linked to peace and security abroad. We welcome a diversity of ideas to help us see the connections between our government’s propensity for war and the injustices that afflict our communities. We welcome all who strive to create a better world. By creating a forum for statewide coordination and cooperation while providing access to much needed information and alternative education to frequently neglected constituencies, GPJC nurtures our growing peace and justice community and enhances the strength of Georgia's progressive movement.
