The Fuse Vision & Mission
We envision a world where people power our government and the common good drives our public policy.
Our mission is to build a bigger and stronger progressive movement, increase leadership and accountability in politics, and improve peoples' lives. Combining the power of the Internet with real world action and stronger communications, we bring people and groups together to drive progress forward in Washington State.
We believe that a stronger democracy is the best path to a better future - that by joining together people can overcome the influence of big money in politics.
Our core values are freedom, opportunity, security and responsibility.
- We are resolved to safeguard our individual freedoms. For two centuries, America has been defined by its commitment to freedom. We must fervently guard our constitutional and human rights and keep government out of our private lives.
- We will strive to guarantee equal opportunity for all. America's historic success has come by providing all citizens, not just the privileged few, with the opportunity for a better life. We must vigorously protect civil rights and oppose all forms of discrimination, create a society where hard work is rewarded and ensure that all Americans have equal access to the American Dream.
- We are determined to protect our security. To make us truly secure, America must not only stop domestic criminals and foreign invaders, it must also promote our health and welfare. While continuing to protect lives and property, we must strengthen programs that protect our environment, insure the sick and vulnerable and safeguard the food we eat and products we use.
- We take responsibility for the well-being of our communities, our state, and our nation by working for policies that extend freedom, opportunity and security to all.
- Affordable, high-quality, health care for all.
- Building an education system that is the best in the world.
- A cleaner, safer environment.
- Better wages, benefits and working conditions for working Americans.
- The protection of civil rights and elimination of discrimination.
- Real security for the most vulnerable Americans.
- The protection of civil liberties, including freedom of speech, religion, association and assembly.
- The protection of privacy, including reproductive freedom.
- A criminal justice system that focuses on security instead of retribution.
- Fiscal responsibility.
- A secure peace, using global engagement and cooperative international relations rather than war to fight against terrorism and other threats to our national security.
- Corporate responsibility and accountability.
- Democracy -- an open government that provides equal access to power.
