Our goal is to inform, educate, and motivate our members to positive action, believing that change is possible and avoiding fatalistic attitudes.

Articles will be written with respect for the individuals mentioned in the piece. It is not our objective to make enemies or damage relationships.

The President holds the ultimate responsibility for the actions of GCRW. She has the authority to discuss an article with the writer and recommend changes to be sure it is within these objectives.
