INDEPENDENCE“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” -Nelson Mandela

DEMOCRACY“That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.” -Thomas Jefferson
|
EMPATHY“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death.” -Anne Frank

SUSTAINABILITY“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” -Rachel Carson

Our Vision
The Yankee National Party is a center-left, social democratic political party that seeks to protect residents of the northeast from the failures of Washington and promote northeastern values of Independence, Democracy, Empathy, and Sustainability. We will provide a viable choice on the ballot, advocating for the interests of real people rather than oligarchs and profiteering corporations. We have the capacity to avoid the partisan gridlock instituted by the two major parties on the national level. We strive to become the third major political party in the United States and to do what is necessary to repel the advances of authoritarianism in our land.
Our platform is anti-authoritarian, anti-fascist, and for the 99%, not the wealthy oligarchs. We will, with allies, restore democratic principles in our country and correct system failures that led to authoritarianism and regressive policy in Washington.

Party Strategy
The Yankee National Party has three central goals, and a three-point strategy to achieve them. Our Goals include:
- To promote northeastern values of Independence, Democracy, Empathy, and Sustainability - the true, original, ideals of the United States.
- To effectively serve the people and their needs over big-monied, profiteering interests.
- To end partisan gridlock in Washington and enact pragmatic and substantive changes at all levels of government - especially to systems that have failed our democracy and that are broken in the eyes of the American people.
- Engaging people about their needs directly and refusing donations from corporations and billionaires.
- Working across party lines to build a coalition of individuals interested in real, practical reform.
- Focusing on regionally-shared values and working to enact greater legal protections for the rights and liberties that are under attack by authoritarian forces in Washington.
