The group describes itself as "committed to peaceful, democratic change in Syria, and the creation of a modern state which respects human rights and promotes economic and social development." Its chairman, Anas al-Abdah, has been vocal in criticizing the actions of the Ba'athist government throughout the Syrian civil war.
