Sanctity of Life
All human beings deserve to live free from aggressive violence from conception to natural death. We should work to create a society free from abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia, police brutality, torture and unjust war.
-
Respect for Democracy
We the people can and should take an active role in decision making through decentralized, deliberative democracy. Get money out of our politics, pass meaningful election reforms so voters have more choices on the ballot, remove unnecessary barriers to entry for independent candidates, and make voting both more secure and easier for all.
-
Social Justice
We have a collective responsibility to society’s most vulnerable members. Societal structures should uphold the equal value and dignity of each person, regardless of any personal characteristics. This requires efforts to address systemic and historic injustices, including long-standing racial injustice and sexism.
-
Immigration
We must enact policies that reconcile the legitimate interest of Americans in secure borders with a core commitment to human dignity. This effort will require addressing not only the crisis at our borders, but also the root causes of migration, many of which concern our country’s use of its military, political, and economic power abroad.
-
Care for the Environment
Cultivation and good stewardship ought to characterize the relationship between people and the environment. Both government and civil society have a responsibility to protect natural resources, now and for future generations.
-
Peace & International Solidarity
Peace is the fruit of justice and requires solidarity among peoples and nations. Aid and trade policies must advance justice, sustainability, and human flourishing. We must exhaust all diplomatic and nonviolent means of conflict resolution before considering military action. War must be the last resort and strictly adhere to just-war principles.
-
Economic Security
Government must work to end economic injustice by creating promoting widespread ownership of property and production. Personal, cooperative, and social ownership are all valid in a just society. Workers’ rights and a family wage must be ensured, and those who cannot work should receive income adequate for full participation in society.
-
Centrality of the Family
Marriage and the family are the central institutions of society and must be supported. Government must promote the wellbeing of all families because the family provides for the nurturing of children, who are our future.
