On the journey to justice, our vision is to work for the day when Appalachia's land, air and water are saved from destruction and contamination; where the economy is stable, strong, and provides diverse employment opportunities for all people; where government and industry are accountable to human needs without exploitation of people and their health; where justice, equity, appreciation of diversity and celebration of our common humanity replace racism, sexism, heterosexism and other "isms"; where wealth and resources are shared equally; where all children grow up free from hatred and violence; and where justice overcomes oppression in any form. |
