Unlocking Yorkshire's Promise
Liberation dances on the edge of dreams, Its rhythm echoing
through Yorkshire’s valleys, Where voices once stifled now find their
hearts unshackled to sing songs of hope.
From the depths of struggle, courage emerges, a phoenix rising from
ashes of despair, the heart’s anthem, a melody that surges,
defying darkness, weaving hope in the region’s air.
So, let us raise our voices, fierce and free, championing –
justice, love, and equality, for in Liberation’s embrace, we find the key
to unlocking Yorkshire’s promise, eternally!
We are looking to the needs of future generations
Laying a fresh societal footing will take time and a lot of effort, but the rewards will be invaluable to future generations of Yorkshire women and men.
A regional government will enable Yorkshire to control our internal affairs. A vibrant democracy will put ordinary people in charge of shaping their and their children’s futures for the better. An inclusive Society will ensure no one is left behind or feels left out. Transitioning to an ecological civilisation will be a profound shift in the very fabric of our society – a reimagining of our fundamental systems and structures based on environmental values.
Putting Principles into Practice
Adopting this fresh societal footing involves embracing the following principles and putting each of them into practice:
Equality – We believe in the inherent equality of all people. This conviction inspires us to work against systems that cause injustice and stand with those suffering from it.
Regenerative Development – We will encourage the restoration of our damaged ecosystems to enhance their capacity to support life. Incorporating natural elements (green roofs, wetlands, and urban forests) into urban planning would be an example of this.
Subsidiarity – We will introduce a decision-making process that starts at the lowest level possible, allowing individuals and local communities to take the initiative and contribute to the well-being of society, recognising the importance of individual agency and community participation.
