Our Values
- We believe in an open government that is fully accessible to the public.
- We believe diversity gives our town strength, and that all Americans reap the benefits when we as a community meet our challenges together.
- We believe systemic flaws create and exacerbate racial disparities, and we must correct these to create a more equitable society.
- We believe we must take action to avoid a climate catastrophe and ensure our communities have clean air, clean water, and a habitable planet now and in future generations.
- We believe that abortion is healthcare, it should be legal and affordable, and the decision to have one should be between a woman and her healthcare provider.
- We believe access to voting is the cornerstone of our democracy, and there should be fewer barriers to casting a legal ballot.
- We believe in a strong, equitable public education system that develops individual character as well as individual academic achievement.
- We believe in a society that values community and protects our citizens from crime.
- We believe in a society that respects our elders, who deserve the right to retire with the resources they need.
- We believe in supporting members of our community who have health issues, are differently abled, experience food and housing insecurity, and are unemployed or underemployed.
- We believe in pursuing these ideals with honesty and integrity, with respect for the American freedoms that we are proud to call our own.
- We believe our town should be safe and accessible for all members of our community.
