As cultural activists we are committed to the principles of cultural equity and democracy.
We believe that cultural diversity is a positive social value to be protected and encouraged;
that authentic democracy requires active participation in cultural life, not just passive consumption of cultural products;
and that our cultural heritage is a resource for improving our quality of life.
