In all decisions that The Aequalitas Project makes and in all our work, we do our best to adhere to and respect these principles:

• We owe it to those that follow us to leave the world a better place than we found it
• Young people have a fundamental right to have their voices heard
• Education is key to advancing equality
• We owe young people a greater role than they currently have in government
• Efficiency and effectiveness can be measured at several levels
• Technology can sometimes, but not always, be used to increase the exposure, efficiency and effectiveness of a program
• Advances achieved through compromise and incremental change are steps towards victory - not defeat
• Diversity means more than tokenism
• Being supportive of green and union practices is an affordable responsibility
• Appropriate transparency is a responsibility of all nonprofits
• Sometimes good things really do take time
• Nonprofit programs that charge participants a fee must also provide a means for overcoming any financial barriers those fees may place on otherwise eligible participants
• Corporations have a social responsibility to their community
• Recognition of fundamental human rights including, but certainly not limited to:
  • Equal access to government for all residents
  • Queer equality
  • Sexual freedom
  • Equal access to life sustaining healthcare and education
