THE key division is not between Catholics and Protestants but between the haves and the have-nots.
We will fight for everybody left behind by the executive, no matter what community they come from.
This is a practical necessity if we want to get out of our present predicament of near-permanent paralysis.
There is no solution to problems of poverty in one community which would not also be a solution to problems of poverty in the other community. We will rise up together or not at all.
We will defend the public sector and encourage resistance to the redundancies agreed by the executive.
We will oppose cuts in corporation tax, which benefit only big business.
We want the dead hand of the unaccountable Strategic Investment Board lifted from the Housing Executive – and the HE given powers to borrow and build and launch a crash programme of social housing.
We want protection of the environment factored into every spending decision.
We are for free childcare, fully integrated education, votes at 16.
Democracy means holding government to account when it abuses its citizens.
We will not falter over how much of the truth victims' families are to be given.
We stand firm with the Bloody Sunday families, the Shankill families, families of "informers" killed by paramilitaries at the urging of British agents, Greysteel, Enniskillen, Birmingham , Loughgall, etc, etc.
Accountability means government must move first to reveal the truth about its role.
We are a 32-county campaigning organisation. We take heart from the election of three People Before Profit TDs in the recent Dáil election and from the mighty campaign which stopped water charges, in which we played a leading part.
We believe that the way to bring north and south together is through a concerted heave against injustice and austerity across the island.
This is practical approach to mending the divisions which blight our society and moving forward towards a better place.
Make a break for the future. Vote People Before Profit – Fiona Ferguson (North Belfast), Gerry Carroll (West Belfast), Eamonn McCann (Foyle).
