MPV is guided by ten principles, namely:1. Collective identity2. Equality3. The separation of religious and state authorities4. Freedom of speech5. Universal human rights6. Gender equality7. LGBTQI inclusion8. Critical analysis and interpretation9. Compassion10. DiversityBased on these principles, MPV carries out grassroots activities, including interfaith marriages, same-sex marriages, female-led prayers and the provision of avant-garde educational materials, through its local chapters in the US, namely in Atlanta, Columbus, Washington DC, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, and in Australia, Canada, Chile, France and Malaysia.
