Our Mission
Our mission is to work from the faith principles and values of our members, apply those values to community issues, and take democratic action to impact existing social structures for the common good of all citizens, particularly the poor and disenfranchised.
We organize, empower and mobilize local faith and citizens organizations to address quality-of-life issues affecting the community.
We work to:
- Train members of participating congregations and groups in leadership and organizing skills through workshops, organizational meetings, one-to-one meetings, and statewide leadership coordination.
- Empower congregation and nonprofit members to confront local issues which impact the lives of themselves and their neighbors and to gradually move to bring about changes in the structures and policies of the larger Anchorage area, thereby reducing inequities and injustices which exist.
- Ensure that low- and moderate-income persons are included in decision making in the Municipality of Anchorage, especially when these decisions affect their lives or the lives of their families.
- Work for the common good of all the citizens by choosing issues which affect the common good of the communities of member institutions, always aware of the values of justice, fairness, inclusiveness, and other principles of faith and democracy.
