Vision Statement

Progressive Vision Statement for Progressive Women In North Orange County
(Borrowed from the Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party)

• We believe that all citizens are entitled to equal rights and equal treatment under the law, and that no one shall be denied these rights because of gender, race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or religion.

• We believe in the separation of church and state.

• We believe in economic fairness and the right of every American to a job that pays a living wage.

• We believe that pre-emptive war is wrong and that this country should seek solutions to international threats through diplomatic channels and the United Nations.

• We believe that every citizen is entitled to quality health care and that single payer universal health insurance is a right, not a privilege.

• We believe in reproductive rights and a woman’s right to choose.

• We believe that the environment is a trust and that we are responsible for preserving it for future generations.

• We believe in the public school system and that every child should have an opportunity for free, quality education in a safe environment.

• We believe that the death penalty is wrong.

• We believe, above all, in the Constitution of the United States and in the right of the people to self-government.
