Atonement is the prescription for moral and spiritual renewal. Black, Hispanic, Native, Asian and Pacific Islander, Arab, and White American families should engage in the eight steps of Atonement. Too often public policies are legislated and codified without regard to the impact on the social condition of Black, Hispanic, Native, Asian and Pacific Islander, Arab and White Americans. Family life in America will be enhanced, as outlined above, through the eight steps of atonement. Morality in public policy serves the common good for all families and communities.

All families have a right to live in safe, caring, drug free, and crime-free communities, but also the responsibility to foster public safety and sharing of resources. All families have a right to quality health care but also the responsibility to practice good health preserving habits such as proper diet, exercise and emotional well-being. All families have the right to participate in the political process locally, nationally and globally. Concurrently, families have the duty to help govern themselves through informed voting, organizing, supporting and providing community-focused leadership in and outside of the family.
