CRIAW VISION  

CRIAW is also committed to a longer-term vision that is a reminder of the world we are working to establish beyond the immediate issues and challenges.

CRIAW is working to create a world in which individuals of all genders, races, cultures, languages, incomes, abilities, sexualities, religions, identities, ages and experiences fully partake of, and contribute to, a just, violence-free, balanced and joyful society that respects the human dignity of all. It is a world constantly opening to new ideas, new perspectives, new energy. It is a world where people and communities share resources and work together, to form an integrated picture in which every contribution is precious, and all people are valued and useful. And it is a society connected to, and respectful of, the earth and the universe.
