PPC FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
- 1. We are rooted in a moral analysis based on our deepest
religious and constitutional values that demand justice for all. Moral
revival is necessary to save the heart and soul of our democracy.
- 2. We are committed to lifting up and deepening the leadership of
those most affected by systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, and
ecological devastation and to building unity across lines of division.
- 3. We believe in the dismantling of unjust criminalization systems
that exploit poor communities and communities of color and the
transformation of the “War Economy” into a “Peace Economy” that values
all humanity.
PPC MORAL AGENDA BASED ON FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
The following moral agenda is drawn from this deep engagement and commitment to these struggles of the poor and dispossessed. It is also grounded in an empirical assessment of how we have come to this point today. The Souls of Poor Folk: Auditing America report reveals how the evils of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, and the war economy and militarism are persistent, pervasive, and perpetuated by a distorted moral narrative that must be challenged.
We must stop the attention violence that refuses to see these injustices and acknowledge the human and economic costs of inequality. We believe that when decent people see the faces and facts that the Souls of Poor Folk Audit presents, they will be moved deeply in their conscience to change things. When confronted with the undeniable truth of unconscionable cruelty to our fellow human beings, we must join the ranks of those who are determined not to rest until justice and equality are a reality for all.
