We believe that true opportunity requires a commitment to a core set of values — equal treatment, a voice in societal decisions, a chance to start over, the tools to meet our basic needs — that are not just good policy ideas, but the right of every human being simply by virtue of his or her humanity.
As the founders of our nation recognized when they declared that we are all created equal, fulfilling our unalienable human rights is essential to realizing the American promise of opportunity for all.
