We believe that it is necessary to 1) create a world of individual and collective security and 2) address the root causes of the problems we face.
We believe that individuals have a fundamental right to live in a world of social, political, environmental, and economic justice.
We embrace diversity as central to strong communities, and we celebrate difference as central to building a sense of shared community.
We believe that in a just and democratic society, all citizens and groups should have access to those individuals and groups responsible for policy-making.
Within the context of a shared common good, we support the right of self-determination of all people.
Because our actions affect future generations, we strive to act responsibly and to enjoy, protect, and sustain a world rich in cultures and resources.
We believe in continuing self-examination in order to make our actions consistent with our progressive political philosophy.
While we think globally, we will act primarily locally.
