Mission & Values
Mission
Compassion Not Cruelty is a movement of organized Christians dedicated to modeling and mobilizing the compassion that Jesus of Nazareth practiced and taught. Our community is calling our nation and leaders to promote and enact policies of Compassion Not Cruelty.
Values
We value compassion by affirming the dignity of every human being, treating everyone with decency, and honoring our nation's democratic principles, institutions, and the rule of law. Recognizing our shared humanity, we are grounded in the nonviolent power of Christ's love as we work for the common good. In a nation where government policy promotes Christian nationalism, cruelty, violence, hatred, and massive wealth for a few, our movement stands as a counterforce—grounded in compassion, justice, and inclusion.
