Ten Key Values of the Green Party

The Ten Key Values were drafted by the U.S. Green Party in 1984. They form the philosophical basis for the platforms of the Green Party in the United States and Canada.

There are many different explanations of what these terms mean, but the terms themselves are constant:

• Social Justice
• Community-Based Economics
• Nonviolence
• Decentralisation
• Future Focus/Sustainability
• Feminism
• Personal and Global Responsibility
• Respect for Diversity
• Grassroots Democracy
• Ecological Wisdom

Requests are being made for permission to distribute existing explanations of what these values mean.
