Mission:
To build a new generation of global defenders—leaders rooted in their communities but fluent in the language of international security.

Vision:
A world where city counselors, and state legislators, mayors and governors, stand shoulder to shoulder collaborating across borders to defend against autocratic regimes that are harming our society.

Values:
–  International awareness, local action
– Action over abstraction
– Global problems, local solutions
– Security as a public good
– Cross-border collaboration
