PeaceNovato is a group of Novato residents seeking to engage our Novato community in conversations about social justice, the environment, and nonviolent means of addressing conflicts. We are committed to:
- Educating ourselves and our neighbors on issues by providing people with information (Peace tools) that they can use to sort things out without resorting to biased, fear based allegations
- Sustaining and enhancing Novato's environment by supporting judicious development, continued open space acquisition, and legislation that will protect and preserve Novato's heritage, natural resources, and quality of life
- Increasing reverence for all forms of life on the planet
- Restoring freedoms that have been curtailed in the name of combating terrorism, and prevent further erosion of our constitutional rights
- Better understanding the responsibilities, as well as the privileges, of citizenship in a country that seeks to be a true democracy
- Maintaining diversity in all forms as a strength, and a source of health for our community and country
- Maintaining open minds, listening with respect, and learning from opposing view points
