The California Vision Guiding Principles
“Our foundation for independence, equity, and resilience.”
The California Vision Guiding Principles serve as the foundation for our movement and the blueprint for an independent California. They represent our shared commitment to building a nation rooted in enduring values, dedicated to raising living standards for every Californian, and prepared to meet the challenges of the future.
These guiding principles unite three core frameworks—our values, our social commitments, and our resiliency strategy—that together shape the path forward for a free and independent California.
The California Vision Values
At the heart of our vision is a set of values that define who we are and what we stand for as an independent nation. These values guide our laws, our government, and our relationships — grounded in justice, equity, sustainability, personal freedom, and democratic accountability.
Our commitment: To build a society where every individual’s rights are protected, every voice is heard, and the common good is always prioritized.
The California Vision Living Standards Framework
Every Californian deserves a dignified life with access to education, healthcare, economic opportunity, and personal security. Our Living Standards Framework defines the essential conditions and supports needed to thrive — setting clear goals for what it means to live well in an independent California.
Our commitment: To guarantee that prosperity and opportunity are not privileges for the few, but the standard for all.
The California Vision Resilience Blueprint
Building a nation means preparing for the unexpected. The Resilience Blueprint outlines how California will protect our people, environment, economy, and democratic institutions against future threats — from climate change and natural disasters to economic shocks and global instability.
Our commitment: To create a resilient nation, ready to adapt, endure, and lead — no matter what challenges lie ahead.
Together, these three pillars form The California Vision Guiding Principles — the foundation of a new and independent California.
