Cambridge is considered a model for national policy and action, and we should live up to that reputation, on issues such as peace action, environmental leadership, and others.
Cambridge government and Cambridge Democratic politics should focus ontransparency, responsiveness to the public, and principles of open governance and accountability of elected officials.
We believe Cambridge's leaders should focus on livability; with open space, alternative transportation, and openness to newcomers as a focus of all development projects.
We believe in tolerance of alternative lifestyles, with an individual right to choose how each person lives their own lives.
We believe in shared community and shared responsibility to others, extending to social justice, environmental justice, and economic justice.
We believe in creating community through affirmative action and outreach.
We believe that Cambridge's vibrancy comes from our many newcomers and from our ethnic diversity, and that we should be welcoming and affirming of those groups.
We believe in electoral reform and voting reform as an ongoing process to improve civic participation and to better include excluded groups.
