These are the KSU Campus Greens' seven primary root values that guide our actions and express our political philosophy:

Personal and Global Responsibility
The Campus Greens strongly encourage involvement in government activities. We are in support of the United Nations retaining its role as the largest driving force for worldwide policy. We support UN conferences and positions on various topics such as racism, child welfare, human rights, etc. amidst the cloud of the current administration, which often withdraws itself from UN progress.

Non-Violence
It is essential that we develop effective alternatives to society's current patterns of violence. We will work to demilitarize and eliminate weapons of mass destruction while recognizing the need for self-defense and the defense of others who are in helpless situations. We advocate the recognition of the International Court and its decisions.

Decentralization
Centralization of wealth and power contributes to social and economic injustice and environmental destruction. Therefore, we support a grassroots restructuring of social, political and economic institutions towards a more democratic and less bureaucratic system. Decision-making should, as much as possible, remain at the individual and local level, while assuring that civil rights are protected for all citizens.

Social Justice
The Campus Greens support a reconstruction of the tax codes to eliminate loopholes for large corporations. The Campus Greens support a national living wage. We advocate the need for such organizations as Head Start (a type of day care). We believe in equal opportunity in all regards. We advocate laws that limit U.S. corporations from using sweatshops and cheap foreign labor.

Respect For Diversity
Campus Greens hold the belief that a diverse community is necessary for society to function at it full capacity. This concept includes the ideas that:

A climate of safety and respect should be established for all communities.

Within state universities, "Ethnic Study" programs should be placed as a priority.

Federally funded national coalitions should be created to promote diversity and respect throughout all levels of government.

All persons should be valued for their intrinsic worth as a human being, without discrimination based on social class, race, gender, or sexual orientation. 

Grassroots Democracy
The Green Party supports changes to the electoral system that will empower average citizens to have more influence over our government. These changes include better balloting procedures to make sure every vote counts, effective campaign finance reform to break big money's stranglehold on politics, and media reform to open the system to new ideas. We also call for serious debate of such innovations as the use of Instant Run-Off Voting, Proportional Representation, and changes to the Electoral College.

Ecological Wisdom
Sustainability must be a central goal of our society. Alternative energy solutions (hydrogen fuel cells, wind/solar energy) promote decentralization of energy distribution as well as ensuring environmental sustainability. Reducing, reusing and recycling should be emphasized in order to make positive environmental impacts. Organic farming also promotes sustainability and encourages independence from fossil fuels (no petroleum based fertilizers). We must take responsibility for our environmental impacts on the world and take whatever steps are necessary to reduce negative impacts.
