We are a political group sharing common visions for a better world. The ten key values described below express our value system. We make decisions using the consensus process.
Join our listserv to be kept up to date on our events.
We shall work with like-minded organizations to confront barriers of racism, class exploitation, sexism, homophobia, ageism and disability, which act to deny fair treatment and equal justice in society and under the law. Racially motivated denial of voting rights, racial profiling and environmental racism must be stopped.
We support conservation of resources for future generations and will work to protect the habitat for all who share our county. We seek greater participation in and creation of energy and resource conservation and recycling programs in our area. We support adaptive reuse of existing structures rather than the unnecessary destruction, waste and loss of habitat caused by demolition and new construction.
While recognizing the need for self-defense and the defense of others, we will strive to develop effective alternatives to the current patterns of violence against both human and non-human. We will actively protest the use of violence by government or any others in our communities.
We support a restructuring of social, political, and economic systems which reinforces our ties to the local community. We oppose the pervasive corporate dominance of art, entertainment, business, media, education, and politics which has usurped vital local expression . We demand accountability from State government agencies and local input into decisions affecting our community.
We strongly support the rights of workers to organize and form unions. We seek a democratic economic system offering meaningful employment, allowing an individual dignity while earning a living wage. Small, community based farms and businesses are essential to the economic and environmental health of South Florida. We will work to support and to encourage investment in community businesses rather than in multi-national corporations.
We have inherited a social system based on male domination of politics and economics. We call for the replacement of cultural ethics of domination and control with more cooperative ways of interacting that respect differences of opinion and gender. We seek to increase women's visibility, roles and leadership in striving for balanced gender representation at all levels of government.
We support the leadership of people traditionally denied leadership roles. We value the cultural, racial, sexual, religious and spiritual diversity that enhances Broward County society. We acknowledge and encourage respect for life forms other than our own.
We will take responsibility for our own actions and be held accountable. We seek to join with people and organizations in South Florida to foster peace, economic justice, and the health of our neighborhoods, towns and planet. We will work to educate the citizens of Broward County to consider the impact of all their actions. Every purchase is a political statement.
Actions and policies should be motivated by long-term goals. As stewards for future generations of all beings we will constantly strive to improve conditions for all inhabitants of our county. We will work to curtail the urban sprawl that plagues Broward County and will oppose the loss of green space which threatens our ecosystem. We support responsible land-use planning and development and seriously question the continual growth that threatens the very fabric of our fragile ecosystem.
