We acknowledge the state should be pluralistic while upholding a vision of the common good of all and of each individual informed by Christian tradition and acknowledging the primacy of religion in each person\u2019s life. These are our principles:<\/span><\/p><ol><li><b>Sanctity of Life<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Human life is sacred, from conception to natural death. We thus oppose abortion, euthanasia, and any direct and intentional attacks on innocent human life. We oppose the death penalty as an unnecessary measure to protect human life. <\/span><\/li><li><b>Social Justice: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We affirm a special collective responsibility to the most vulnerable members of society and call for societal structures that uphold the equal value and dignity of each person, regardless of any personal characteristics. This requires efforts to address systemic and historic injustices, including long-standing racial injustice, in a way that confronts inequalities that disparage innate personal dignity.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b>Community-Oriented Society: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Humans are created to live in communities, and the proper organization of our communities is necessary for the flourishing of our societies. Society consists of various institutions and communities, like families, governments, and religious groups, whose primary authority over their own affairs should be respected and defended. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher levels of government should serve to empower and support lower levels of authority, rather than replace them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b>Centrality of the Family<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Natural marriage and the family are the central institutions of society and must be supported and strengthened, not undermined. As the family provides for the nurturing of children, it is the imperative of the state to advance the wellbeing of all families, while respecting the duty of family members to fulfill their roles freely.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b>Economic Security: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The state and subsidiary organizations must act to remedy economic injustice by creating conditions for widespread ownership of property and production. Personal, cooperative, and social ownership are all valid in a just society. Workers\u2019 rights and a family wage must be ensured, and those who cannot work should receive income adequate for full participation in society.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b>Care for the Environment: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cultivation and good stewardship ought to characterize <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the relationship between humanity and creation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The earth and its fruits are universally destined for the benefit of all people. Both government and civil society have a responsibility to protect natural resources, now and for future generations.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b>Peace and International Solidarity: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peace is the fruit of justice and requires solidarity among peoples and nations. Aid and trade policies must advance justice, sustainability, and human flourishing. Diplomatic and nonviolent means of resolution must be exhausted before violent means can be considered. Military action must strictly adhere to just-war principles.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Statement Of Principles The Texas Solidarity Party follows the Statement of Principles adopted by the American Solidarity Party.\u00a0\u00a0 Adopted at the 2020 National Convention on June, 28th 2020:\u00a0The American Solidarity Party is based in the tradition of Christian democracy.
