PAGAN PRIDE PROJECT

Statement of Purpose:

The Pagan Pride Project is a non-profit organization.
The primary purposes of this corporation shall be the advancement of
religion and elimination of prejudice and discrimination based on
religious beliefs.

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Pagan Pride Project is to foster pride in Pagan identity through education, activism, charity and community.

Defining the Mission Statement:

We try to keep our purpose balanced through the inspirations of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth:

• Air: Education
  
  We''re
  never going to be able to practice our spiritual paths openly if we
  don''t give the public accurate information about what we do and do not
  do.


• Fire: Activism
  
  People
  aren''t necessarily going to go out of their way to find out what Pagans
  really do. We have to have the courage to act on our convictions and do
  what we need to do.


• Water: Charity
  
  We
  know that what we do returns to us. We need to demonstrate this by
  offering compassion to our communities where it is needed. When we
  share our own abundance, we show that we trust the Gods to share
  abundance with us in return.


• Earth: Community
  
  We''re
  never going to be able to practice openly if we don''t know anyone else
  in our local Pagan communities. We need to weave networking webs in our
  cities, in our towns, in our rural areas. We need these webs to support
  one another. That support will also show those who would restrict our
  practice that we are not just a few isolated wackos, but are a growing
  congregation of people who adhere to a faith that, while different, is
  as valid as their own.
