We believe in a sustainable future for our planet, our nation and our community, of holding a policy of respect for nature and maintaining an ecological balance between the interests of man and nature.

We support the Charter of the United Nations and its "Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man."

We believe that nature has rights. The fundamental human rights on which human survival depends are nature's rights, and it is time we safeguarded them.

More specifically, we believe in the following:

An immediate end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, violation of the sovereignty of, and acts of war against,  Pakistan and Libya.

We oppose Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine and the genocidal policy which began in 1948 and known as NAKBA toward Palestinians of slaughter and forced removal from their homeland. We call for the release of all Palestinian prisoners, the bringing down of the apartheid wall, the dismantling of the colonial settlements in Palestine, the end of the Israeli occupation and the complete withdrawal to the 1967 borders in exchange for a full peace, not only with the Palestinians but also with the entire Arab world.

We support a boycott of all products made in Israel. We support an end to all American aid and funding to Israel for any purpose other than humanitarian until the occupation is ended and a resolution to this crisis occurs.

We oppose the illegal occupation of Indian troops in Kashmir, and we oppose the oppressive conditions created by laws and such as the Public Safety Act and the Armed Forces Special Protection Act imposed upon Kashmir by the country of India that legalize executions on the street of those who protest peacefully and non-violently. We believe in the right of self-determination not only for the people of Kashmir but for all people throughout the world.

A repeal of the Patriot Act.

An end to torture, rendition and the maintenance of prisons or other similar facilities outside U.S. borders by the U.S. military, the CIA or any other agency of the U.S. government, including foreign governments acting in our behalf, that deny individuals fair and just constitutional protections under U.S. law or the Geneva Conventions.

A repeal of the Military Commissions Act which suspends rights to a speedy trial, rules out the use of the Geneva Conventions as a source of rights, denies the right of habeas corpus, and contains other provisions which violate the U.S. Constitution and international human rights standards.

We oppose the unitary executive doctrine which advocates almost unlimited executive power through the use of signing statements by the President, and believe it to be a violation of the principle of separation of powers through three branches of government.

We support the impeachment and/or prosecution of any member or past member of the current or past administration or Congress who knowingly lied to the American people about the threat of Saddam Hussein and the country of Iraq in order to provide reasons to attack that country, or who is complicit in obstructing such justice through the exercise of office and willingly obscures and covers up such crimes.

We oppose the invasion of Pakistan without the approval of either Congress, the American people, or the people and government of Pakistan. We oppose the use of unmanned drones against civilian populations anywhere as an instrument of terror.

We oppose the extrajudicial arrests, kidnappings and executions of anyone anywhere in violation of the sovereignty of other countries, and in violation of accepted international laws and treaties.We believe that any president, administration official, or military officer ordering such actions, or who has knowledge of them beforehand, has committed crimes that must be accounted for in a court of law

We support not-for-profit, single-payer universal health care (Medicare-for-all) for all citizens.

We favor publicly-supported education through a four-year college.

We support an aggressive national policy on global warming.

We support the closure of all nuclear power stations just as soon as they can be practically replaced with alternative sources of energy. We propose the immediate closure of any nuclear power plant vulnerable to natural disasters of any kind or any seismic event known to have occurred in the past or that could predictably occur that would present a threat to the integrity of the plant itself and/or to the surrounding environment and population.

We favor public financing of campaigns and public control of all media used to present the views of candidates for public office via debates or advertisements through the designation of a public television channel exclusively for this purpose. We also support in principle the Fairness Doctrine and favor legislation that would replace the FCC doctrine with law, which would also meet Supreme Court concerns about the need to enhance public debate.

We believe that a woman's right-to-choose must be protected as essential to personal privacy and gender equality. We also believe that only those who agree to uphold Roe v. Wade should be nominated for the Supreme Court.

We strongly favor an end to capital punishment and an end to the proposition that an “eye for an eye” is just punishment. We believe that life itself and its preservation is sovereign and should never be violated.

We support complete equality for lesbians and gays throughout society, including in marriage.

We oppose all automatic deportation of people crossing the border from Mexico and other countries. We support modification of immigration laws that will provide undocumented workers legal status who seek employment in the U.S. and to support the welfare, health, safety, and education of them and their children as any other citizens of this country.

End oil dependence through investment in renewable energy resources.
