Equity Democrats

Principles

A canon for Equity Democracy.

These doctrine files live outside React components so the organization can extend the canon without rewriting the frontend.

Principle

Equity

Equity asks how participation, value, resources, power, opportunity, and ownership are actually distributed through systems.

Principle

Contribution

People who participate in producing economic or social value should have their contributions recognized when resulting claims are assigned.

Principle

Attribution Before Redistribution

Political economy should not begin only after ownership has already been allocated.

Principle

Agency

Institutions should expand people's consequential ability to participate in and shape the systems affecting their lives.

Principle

Reparations in Real Time

Build systems that recognize contribution, exclusion, and harm early enough to change original allocation.

Principle

We Owe Us

Democratic institutions are not external benefactors; people collectively create, finance, operate, and legitimate them.

Principle

Data Is Labor

Human information, behavior, judgment, creativity, corrections, and preferences can participate in productive processes.
