Equity Democrats

Principle

We Owe Us

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

We Owe Us is the public-language formulation of the Equity Democrats social contract.

Democratic institutions are not outside benefactors. People collectively create, finance, operate, and legitimate public institutions.

The social contract therefore concerns the relationship between participation in society and the institutions and assets society produces.
