Our Principles

The Coalition for Democracy seeks to provide a strong, unified, grassroots voice in upstate New York to promote societal and environmental agendas that "promote the general welfare" as referred to in the U. S. Constitution. The values guiding the coalition are Integrity, Justice, Freedom, and Compassion.

Integrity demands of us, our public officials, and our institutions responsibility, transparency, openness and accountability.

Justice requires fairness, tolerance and respect for each other and for other peoples, cultures and religions as well as for the environment.

Freedom requires an educated and informed electorate; responsible, independent and diverse media; and protection of individual rights and civil liberties.

Compassion as encapsulated in the Golden Rule, impels us toward a special concern for the health, education, and welfare of the most vulnerable segments of society.
