The Justice Party seeks to promote—in the United States and throughout the world--peace, security, safety, health, equal opportunity, democracy, ennoblement of humankind, an end to racism and caste systems of every form, accountability for those who abuse their power, and fundamental fairness for all.
To accomplish that, the Justice Party recognizes that the United States government must be fundamentally altered so that corrupting money does not dictate laws and policy. The Justice Party is committed to achieving integrity in government, which consists largely of elected and other government officials acting in the public interest and no longer primarily serving the interests of their wealthy sponsors.

Becoming the Wind
Jim Wallis wrote in his book God’s Politics about “people of faith, conscience, goodwill, and fragile hopes [who] want to make a difference but are searching for ways to do it.” Regardless of one’s faith, or lack thereof, Wallis makes a crucial point when he describes political leaders “who walk around . . . with their fingers held high in the air, having just licked them and put them up to see which way the wind is blowing.” As he says, “political leaders are really very good at figuring out the direction of the wind, and are quite used to quickly moving in that direction.”
Many of us believe that by replacing one wet-fingered politician with another, we can change our society. But it never really works, and when it doesn’t we get disillusioned. We then get tempted to just grumble, withdraw, or give up altogether on ever changing anything. But that’s where we make our mistake.
The great practitioners of real social change, like Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi, understood something very important. They knew that you can’t change a society by merely replacing one wet-fingered politician with another. You change a society by changing the wind.
We can effectuate major changes in our government through raising consciousness then organizing and mobilizing people at the grassroots level to act together by transforming lone voices into a powerful, collective roar demanding change. We can be the wind of change! That’s the primary aim of the Justice Party. That’s how it was done successfully by the anti-slavery, women’s suffrage, labor, civil rights, and marriage equality and other LGBTQ+ movements. And it’s how we can achieve change NOW.
