Reconstruction Party Manifesto: on Principles & Values


Helped draft the Reconstruction Party Manifesto

Cynthia McKinney participated in drafting the Reconstruction Party Manifesto, and is seeking its election ballot line. The Manifesto has ten key points:

    In the context of what is perhaps the most important Presidential election in a generation, we feel compelled to add our voices to the deafening silence coming from both the Democratic & Republican parties on the real issues of concern to us. We reject “differences” that will not make a difference and “changes” that will not bring about any change The vision of the Reconstruction Party encompasses all communities in need of reconstruction.
  1. 1. We Want Freedom Now!
  2. We Want Full Employment Now!
  3. We Want Reparations Now!
  4. We Want Resources for Human Needs Now!
  5. We Want to Stop the War at Home Now!
  6. We Want an End to the War on Drugs Now!
