P!, a new progressive community, has finalized its mission statement, which includes a Vision, Mission, Values and Principles, and their Purpose. It's too long to post here in its entirety, but here are the Vision, Mission, and Values and Principles:
| Our vision: We envision an enlightened, expanding, and sustainable movement of peoples, guided by progressive, populist values and principles, which acts cooperatively and consistently to create conditions in which all on our planet may achieve justice, peace, and community. Our mission: We wish to identify and empower collective, constructive actions which exemplify our values and principles and which intend to make our vision a reality. We acknowledge and celebrate the power of emerging technologies and forms of communication and intend for our efforts to fully utilize them. Our values and principles: * all peoples have the inalienable right to self-determination and self-government, except when action to that purpose interferes with universal freedom, justice, peace, and community. Individual and shared rights are always informed by and subject to individual and shared responsibility for universal rights * non-violent action is the most desired means of conflict resolution. Universal freedom, peace, justice, and community are best achieved through consensus, cooperation, and communication * all wealth and power should be dispersed to benefit all peoples, with our maximum participation in all decisions pertaining to the use of that wealth, rather than accumulated and concentrated in and by the few * self-restraint, tolerance, compassion, patience, and humility are most valued and practiced in the pursuit of freedom, peace, and community |
Dennis Kucinich would be proud.
