About Us
We believe all American citizens have the inherent right to equal political power and equal representation in government. We believe the purpose of democratic government is to serve the public good, in the public interest, for the benefit of all people equally. We believe in equal rights, freedom, security, justice, peace, and prosperity for all, regardless of race, gender identity, ability, national origin, economic circumstance, or religious beliefs.
Our Mission
To organize people from the grassroots up, growing local sustainable democratic communities everywhere, centralized nowhere, networked to maximize our combined political power. To transform our political system, ending the abuse of people, our government, and the natural world by corporations and the wealthy. To eliminate systems of privilege and oppression. To return equal rights, equal political power, and equal representation to the people. To grow a new government that serves the public good, in the public interest, for the benefit of all people equally. To make our infrastructure and economy environmentally sustainable, in the process creating good jobs that cannot be outsourced. To align our economic policies with our democratic values and principles.
Our Principles
Personal responsibility and accountability; government accountability and transparency. Pragmatic direct action, sparing no political tool in the fulfilment of our mission; we agitate and negotiate, working both within and outside the established political system. Active, nonviolent resistance to oppression, discrimination, and abuse, in our governments, our communities, and ourselves.
Our Process
Form a statewide network of local progressive democratic organizations. Access established political systems and transform them into progressive organizations. Pressure established political systems to enact progressive change through coordinated direct action across our networks. Form alliances, including with non-progressive or establishment groups, in areas of agreement. Primary as many non-progressive candidates as possible in every election. Network local grassroots organizations to support each other in serving each local community directly. Evaluate and learn from our success and our mistakes, evolve solutions and implement new processes as we continue to grow.
