We The People....

The Alliance for Democracy
South Puget Sound Chapter

THE ALLIANCE is part of a non-partisan Populist movement --- not a political party --- setting forth to end the domination of our economy, our government, our culture, our media and the environment by large corporations and the wealthy elite who run them.

WE AIM TO PROMOTE true democracy in our country and help achieve a just society with a sustainable, equitable economy. We work together with other organizations that share these goals. We work locally for reforms that enhance citizen participation and empower average citizens in the political arena. We advocate for truly representative democracy within our republican form of government -- a goal that is unattainable when corporations and the wealthy elite who run them wield direct power over elections, government, and civic society.

WE ARE PEOPLE from every walk of life who have listened to each other and united to end corporate rule. We are committed to true democracy, with focus for the voice and will of the people; to social and economic justice for all people; and to the building of alternative democratic, human-sized economic systems.

WE PURSUE THESE GOALS with respect for the dignity of all people and, in a nonviolent way, seek linkages with similar groups to form a new people's movement, both in the United States and around the world.

WE SEEK FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE to the political power structure.  Piecemeal reform isn't enough anymore-- the corporate system will not permit us to win anything fundamental by politics as usual. We see our unique role as seeking the deep and systemic changes we will need to win our independence from corporate rule and replace it with true democracy. We work to establish the conditions that will allow citizens to effectively advocate for a more just and free nation that can yield a higher quality of life for all inhabitants.
