GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY -- Everyone deserves a say in the decisions that affect their lives. -- Increase public participation at every level of government. --Ensure that our public representatives are fully accountable to the people who elect them. SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY --All persons should have the rights and opportunity to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment. --We must consciously confront in ourselves, our organizations, and society at large, barriers such as racism and class oppression, sexism and homophobia, ageism and disability, which act to deny fair treatment and equal justice under the law. ECOLOGICAL WISDOM --We are part of nature, not separate from nature. --We must maintain an ecological balance and live within the ecological and resource limits --We support a sustainable society which utilizes resources in such a way that future generations will benefit and not suffer from the practices of our generation. --We must practice agriculture which replenishes the soil; move to an energy efficient economy; and live in ways that respect the integrity of natural systems. |
