Mission + Values

---

Truth and Accountability League (TAAL) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advocacy organization with roots in defending Armenian identity and culture. Today, TAAL has grown into a broader platform dedicated to combating hate, discrimination, and disinformation affecting marginalized communities, including women, LGBTQ+ individuals, ethnic and cultural minorities, and other underrepresented groups.

TAAL monitors and challenges bias across media, academia, public policy, and cultural institutions. The organization provides educational programs, resources, and training to empower communities and individuals with the knowledge and tools to recognize, confront, and prevent prejudice, disinformation, and harmful narratives.

Our mission is to advance equity, promote accountability, and foster understanding, ensuring that all communities, including those of Armenian heritage, are represented, respected, and supported.

Truthfulness, respect, and tolerance are core values of TAAL. Our work is a true expression of our values inform our work and the change we seek in the world. These values also guide the strategy and tactics of all our programs and activities globally, nationally, and locally.

We speak out against hate, bigotry, discrimination, and injustice—even when we stand alone.

We stand up for all people who are the target of hate, oppression, and violence, including Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and Armenia.

We believe an enlightened society values and shows respect for each other, in our work and workplace, while acknowledging the diversity of humanity and different and sometimes competing needs. 

We embrace the power of collaboration, recognizing that working together yields gains that cannot always be achieved on our own.

We believe in the power of inclusion and uniting people from diverse groups—because we are stronger together than when we are apart.

We always observe the highest standards of integrity.

We are viewed as having unquestioned credibility because our actions draw from years of experience and are grounded in research and rigorous thinking.

We set high-performance expectations and hold ourselves accountable for the quality of our work and the results we achieve as individuals, as a team, and as one organization.

We are very proud of our accomplishments in the last three years and for serving the community.
