• I stand for freedom.
• I oppose brutal regimes in Iraq and elsewhere but
• I also oppose the new doctrine of "preventive war," which guarantees permanent and very dangerous conflict, and is the reason why the U.S. is now regarded as the major threat to peace in much of the world.

• I stand for solidarity.
• I stand for and with all the poor and the excluded.

• I stand against the destruction of forests, soil, water, environmental resources, and biodiversity on which all life depends.
  
  
• I stand for justice. I stand against economic, political, and cultural institutions that promote a rat race mentality, huge economic and power inequalities, corporate domination even unto sweatshop and slave labor, racism, and gender and sexual hierarchies.
  
  
• I stand for a policy that redirects the money used for war and military spending to provide healthcare, education, housing, and jobs.
  
  
• I stand for a world whose political, economic, and social institutions foster solidarity, promote equity, maximize participation, celebrate diversity, and encourage full democracy.
  
  
• I stand for peace and justice and, more, I pledge to work for peace and justice."
