Platform

Political Vision

The Greens oflier an altemative way of thinking about poHtics. Our agenda fecuses on common interests, not speckl interests, bng-term solutions, not qubk fixes. The pktferm of the Green Party of Virgink is buflt upon tfae feHowiiig Ten Key Values of tfae American Green movement*

Ecological Wisdom

Grassroots Democracy

Social Justbe

Nonvblence

Futire Focus and Sustainabflity.

At the core of our platform are five categories of issues:

Ecoiogical Wisdom

12/2/12 * The Green Party of Virginia - Platf omn Statements

For bve of fiiture generations, we consber the bng range consequences of current actions. We must address tfae extemal costs of production and consunptba Our practices of generating "waste" separate us fix>m natural systems m whbh degraded matter is deconposed and retumed to the web of Hfe as nutrients. We must find ways to address this imbalance and commit ourselves to the rights of cban air, cban water, and cban soil

We caH fer tfae inpbmentatbn of true cost-prbing or otfaer accountabflity systems that reveal tiie bng-term and hbden environmental and social costs of products: air and water poHution, deferestatbn, toxb waste, abuse of kbor, risk to health, and countiess other ways m whbh our products and our Hves and the Hfe of the earth are mterrekted.

Commmmity-lbased EcoiiBoiimcs

We wfll strengthen bcal communities by encouraging economb self-reHance m aH ways practical. As an altemative to an economy owned by either govemn̂ nt or giĝ uitic corporations, Greens &vor a JeflEersonian ecoiiomb model with ownershp, responsfl̂ flity, and control spread as wbefy as possibb among Virgmians.

Evetyone shoub share in the fiuits of our socbty reg^bss of gender, race, sexual orientation, ckss, age, or disabflity. We recognize fhe intimate coimection between our rights as indivbuals and our responsibflities to our neî bors, our communities, and tfae entire pknet

Therefere, we oppose aH kws tfaat discriminate based on categories and pfaysbal and emotional attributes. We beHeve aH faumans have a fimdamental rig^ to a Hveabb wage, access to education, and universal health care, with special enphasis on protection of and care fer chfldren.

Peace aurad Nomvioknitce

We encourage education, investment, and dkbgue to find ways to prepare fer peace. We examine the causes and efiiects of vbbnce, fix)m indivbual acts of vbbnce to institutionaHzed acts of vbbnce. We must end assaults against indivbuals, fiunflbs, nations, and tfae environment We caH fer cooperative ways of interacting to repkce the cultural ethbs of domination and controL In this way, we can most efiEectivefy fester the process of peace.

BeiiTOcraicy and Electoiral Refooim

Concentration of poHtbal power m the hands of too few contributes to sockl and economb mjustice. Virginians must reckim tfaeir right to gpvem themseĥ s, acknowbdging that botfa tiie national and Virgink constitutions state that aH power is derived fix)mthe peopb. We support

community authority to make decisbns that afiiect tlie community and promote sockl and economb justice fer aH. We support citizen partbpation m passing bgisktbn, including initiative, referendum, and the right of recaH of ebcted oflScials.

In order to dflute tfae power of the two-party system and to promote citizen partbpation, we caH fer extensive canpaign finance referm and adoption of an altemative system of electing bgisktive bodbs instead of tfae current "winner-take-aH" system In our Green canpaigns, we pbdge not to accept campaign contributions of more than $ 1000 fix)m any indivbual and wiH not accept aay contributions fix>m PoHtical Actbn Committees or bbbyists.

We welcome all Virginians to share the Green vision. Please join us in creating a new politics.
