Downsizing, environmental degradation, poverty, union-busting, costly and
inadequate health care, discrimination, the growing divide between rich and
poor, and our crumbling educational system are not irreversible facts of life.

Upon the foundation of these Ten Key Values we present a framework from which
to build an evolving Green Platform that will express our commitment to creating
fundamental and enduring change in our current political, social, and economic
lives. The components of this framework should not be thought of as mutually
exclusive, instead, they should be thought of as inextricably linked.
