Pillars as Platform

The Four Pillars of the Green Party (Ecological Wisdom, Social Justice, Grassroots Democracy, and Non-Violence) support the platform on which Greens run for public office and work to create peaceful, just, and sustainable societies.  Greens recognize that humans are part of the natural world shared by many other species.  We promote equitable and fair solutions to the problems of a complex world.  We seek open and inclusive electoral systems that invite broad participation of voters and candidates.  We strive to end the use of violence as a means of social control and foreign hegemony.

In New Mexico, a commitment to the preservation of natural water sources includes protecting water quality, reducing waste, and allotting usage according to historical rights and advancement of habitat preservation and regenerative agriculture.  We support a requirement for lapel cameras for all on-duty law enforcement officers.  Minor political parties are a necessity in the era of rule by a corporate duopoly; more choices and more voices are required if the hope of a responsive democracy is to exist.  Greens recognize that acts of cruelty are often multifactorial and range from animal abuse to illegal military invasions, and we support legislation to eradicate the causes of violence.
