The Peace Coalition works to promote the following principles:

1) Outreach: Attracting new, enthusiastic members to the Peace Coalition, especially through personal, face-to-face, ties and contacts.

2) Action or Social Activism: Activities such as demonstrations, speakouts, sit-ins, escort services (for those afraid of racist attacks or other hate crimes), and campaigns in order to be seen, present a clear message, and attract greater support.

3) Education or "Academic Activism": Activities such as teach-ins, panel discussions, leafleting, petitioning, and "postering" in order to better educate the general public and gain wider support. This is closely related to Action/Social Activism, but tries to reach a wider audience by "teaching" more the complexities of and perspectives on an issue as opposed to just stating and emphasizing our concerns and views.

4) Delegating Responsibilities: Everyone who supports the Peace Coalition should feel necessary and wanted. This happens by empowering everyone to voice his or her concerns and opinions, and by allotting responsibilities to everyone. Those who have a responsibility, no matter how small, will feel encouraged to come back and participate actively.

5) Awareness of Issues: It is vital for the existence and evolution of our coalition that we are all aware of current and past events and circumstances that directly affect us. It is important to know of our government's policies and practices, events around the world, and events here at home, among other things.
