Opportunity: Everyone deserves a fair chance to achieve their full potential.
Security: Everyone should have the tools and resources necessary to support themselves and their families.
Mobility: Everyone in our society, no matter where they start, should have the chance to move forward in economic and educational status.
Community and Responsibility: We are all in this together. As a society we share a sense of responsibility for each other and for helping to rebuild America.
Equality: What we look like or where we come from should not determine the burdens, benefits, or responsibilities that we bear in society.
