• Participate in democracy at every step. It is alive, and needs your companionship.

• Govern with facts, fairness, and accountability. Listen, adapt, and stay honest.

• Budget for what matters. Your spending reveals your values.

• Pool resources, and provide for basic needs. These include food, shelter, health, and care for all.

• Build infrastructure that serves people. This includes transport, housing, communications, and care systems.

• Set fair wages, and respect everyone’s time. Dignity is not a luxury.

• Come together, and agree on rules that benefit the many, not the few.

• Make education and critical thinking, foundations for a stronger future.

• Keep power in check. Separate business from politics, and protect public decision-making.

• Protect civil liberties, human rights, and equity at all times. These principles must apply, even when they are inconvenient.

• Care for the environment. It sustains everything else.

• Design systems that reduce inequality, and measure success by well-being, not wealth.

Operate with compassion. Act with integrity. Build with each other in mind.
