It must be ended. We do not support terrorism in any form and will work to eliminate it whether used by government against individuals or against individuals by government. We will work to eliminate all oppression and work carefully to assure that the changes we make are not the substitution of one form of oppression for another. The Green Party supports and advocates an environment for men and women that is free from violence and abuse. This support includes, but is not limited to, people of color, gays and lesbians, physically and mentally disabled, and young and older individuals.
Life is too precious and at times too short to waste in hatred or violence.
We must value each and every moment with tolerance and respect. We reaffirm that a person accused of a crime is always innocent until proven guilty. We must support one's right and desire to live our lives as free, innocent, and yet responsible persons. The Maine Green Party believes that it is in our communities and our neighborhoods that true social justice can be made to thrive. If our national and state governments had a commitment to the development and support of sustainable communities, there would be a natural and parallel commitment to the importance of the development and maintenance of citizens who are truly engaged in their communities.
