GOAL: To support social and economic justice, in order to encourage equitable and sustainable development that promotes democracy; as well as community, cultural, social, spiritual and individual well-being. Interprogram will advance this goal by supporting the exploration, development, and implementation of public policy, private efforts, and activities for institutional and systemic changes.

OBJECTIVE I: Accountability
To establish the accountability of economic, social or governmental institutions, especially corporations, for the consequences and effects of their activities on the environment, and on people, their health, well-being, cultures, and communities.

OBJECTIVE II: Social Alliance Building
To address these social, political, economic, environmental, cultural or health issues in an integrated way by bringing together groups--often separated by narrow issue interests and by race, religion, gender, class, ethnicity, and national origin--into crosscutting constituencies based on common economic, social, and ethical concerns; and creating both the possibilities and the demand for development of more systematic solutions to these issues, as well as the social basis needed for their implementation.
