Model the power and pride of all adults who engage in consensual sexual expression and encourage those who fight for decriminalization of all sexual acts between consenting adults.
Support individual and organized political activism, visibility, and education in order to eradicate stereotypical beliefs, misconceptions, and media misrepresentation about the Leather/BDSM/Fetish family in the community at large.

Continue providing, through publications, educational material, and conferences, a forum for the sharing of knowledge, viewpoints, and practices of a diverse network of people.
Welcome women, people of color, non-binary persons, the deaf, the physically challenged, and others who have traditionally been discriminated against or poorly represented within the Leather/BDSM/Fetish community.
Attend, promote, and support fundraising for deserving defense funds, projects, clubs, organizations, and/or charities, which have given direct service to the Leather/BDSM/Fetish community.
Promote the success and welfare of individuals, organizations, publications, and businesses within our community, especially against threats to their freedom of expression, freedom of the press, rights to free association, and right to equal protection under the law.
