We are pro-choice 

We are pro-choice because we believe in advocating for a person's right to make autonomous decisions about their own body and reproductive health. We prioritize protecting the rights and dignity of individuals, recognizing that access to safe and legal abortion services is essential for reproductive freedom. We know that decisions about pregnancy should ultimately be made by the person carrying the pregnancy, in consultation with medical professionals and without interference or judgment from the government or any external entity. Being pro-choice signifies a commitment to ensuring that reproductive healthcare options are available without discrimination and that individuals have the ability to control their own reproductive destinies.

We believe in quality, accessible child-led education.

By incorporating principles of child-led psychology, such as those advocated by theorists like Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky, we believe that education should focus on a child's natural curiosity and ability to learn through exploration and hands-on experiences. Child-led education promotes the idea that children are active participants in their own learning process, rather than passive recipients of information.

Child-led psychology backed education emphasizes the importance of social and emotional development in learning. By promoting the use of cooperative learning strategies and encouraging children to work collaboratively, we believe in creating an inclusive and supportive classroom environment that nurtures teamwork, empathy, and respect.

By supporting child-led education, we aim to foster intellectual growth, independent thinking, and emotional well-being, ensuring that each child receives the individualized attention and opportunities they need to flourish academically and personally.

Equity is a priority to us. 

We prioritize equity because we recognize that every individual deserves fair and equal treatment, regardless of their background, socio-economic status, or any other characteristic that may differentiate them from others.

By championing equity, we aim to level the playing field, ensuring that everyone has the same opportunities to succeed and thrive.

Fair taxes.

We believe in addressing tax unfairness because we recognize that an equitable and just taxation system is crucial for a thriving society. We see tax unfairness as a systemic issue that perpetuates socioeconomic disparities, whereby those who can afford to pay more taxes are often given more opportunities to accumulate wealth, while those who struggle financially bear a disproportionate burden. By addressing tax unfairness, we aim to create a more level playing field, ensuring that everyone pays their fair share based on their economic capacity. We believe this will contribute to a more balanced distribution of resources, increased social mobility, and enhanced social cohesion. By closing loopholes and implementing progressive tax policies, we aim to redirect resources towards essential public services like education, healthcare, infrastructure, and social welfare programs. We recognize that addressing tax unfairness is not only a matter of economic justice but is also crucial for building a fairer and more inclusive society overall.

We want a system for us, by us. 

We believe in addressing systemic issues because we recognize that these issues transcend individual occurrences and impact the larger structure and functioning of our society. We understand that systemic issues are deeply ingrained in our institutions, policies, and social norms, perpetuating inequalities and hindering progress.

By focusing on systemic issues, we aim to tackle the root causes rather than merely addressing surface-level symptoms. We understand that addressing systemic issues requires comprehensive reforms that go beyond temporary fixes, aiming for lasting change and equal opportunities for all. We acknowledge that systemic issues have a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, perpetuating cycles of disadvantage and preventing upward mobility. We believe in leveling the playing field, promoting equity, and ensuring that everyone has a fair chance at success.

Our belief in addressing systemic issues stems from our commitment to social justice, fairness, and inclusivity. We recognize that by targeting and challenging the underlying systems, we can create a society that genuinely works for the betterment of all its members, creating a more just and equal future.
