AfGJs ongoing struggle for liberation from Empirefocuseson four major areas: A) Economic Justice: AfGJ denounces neoliberal economics, corporate globalization, and privatization, contending that a just society is oriented toward meeting the needs of its own people, not toward creating vast inequality and mega-profits for those at the top at the expense of the many. To combat the concentration of wealth and power [that] is the root cause of oppression, says AfGJ, there must be a fundamental change in international and national conditions that disempower people, create [economic and political] disparities, poison the earth, and plunder its resources. By AfGJs reckoning, it is governments duty to satisfy the right of people to shelter, sufficient food, medical care, education, employment, [and] leisure, and to dismantle societal structures that distribute wealth in ways that deny anyone those basic rights. A key component of AfGJs Economic Justice initiative is itsCampaign for Labor Rights, which promotes the right of workers in the U.S. and abroad to organize, earn aliving wage, and bargain collectively with their bosses., B) U.S. Militarism: Asserting that militarism and modern wars result from coercive force and violent oppression waged in favor of economic and political systems that seek to concentrate wealth, power and resources in the hands of a privileged few, AfGJ charges that the U.S. war machine today exists mainly to guard the interests of transnational corporations via U.S. military dominance around the world. Supporting amulti-polarpolitical world and [rejecting] the myth of U.S. exceptionalism and its ambition toward unchallengeable military power, the Allianceopposesall U.S. wars and use of U.S. military force abroadon grounds that history has shown that U.S. wars are unjust, exploitative, and profit-driven. It is significant, however, that AfGJ does not categorically reject the use of violence in pursuit of justice for the marginalized and oppressednoting proudly, for instance, that its ownparent organization, theNicaragua Network, wasfoundedto support an armed revolution., C) Real Democracy: AfGJ impugns electoral processes that give enormous and undue influence to wealthy corporations, and it opposes alleffortsby the U.S. government to subvert other sovereign States through manipulation of their elections, social movements, forced debt, unequal trade treaties and predatory business practices, or military threat. For example, the AlliancesRespect for Democracy Campaign seeks to shut down the U.S.-funded National Endowment for Democracy, which in 2004 aided both the groups that overthrew Haitis elected government and the coup leaders who unsuccessfully tried to overthrowHugo Chavezin Venezuela. Similarly, AfGJsVenezuela Solidarity Campaign aims to expose and oppose U.S. government and corporate intervention in Venezuelas sovereign affairs, and itsColumbia Watch initiative demands an end to U.S. support for war, repression and neoliberal economics in Colombia., D) Ecological Integrity: Condemning the consumptive excesses and unrestrained Western consumerism of wealthy nations and multinational corporations obsessed with a constant search for new resources to exploit, AfGJ holds that global warming is a direct result of this drive to put profits before the planets own health. The AlliancesEco-Solidarity Projectwarns that America is putting the rest of the planet in peril by consuming some 25% of the worlds energy resources and producing more solid waste and carbon-dioxide emissions per person than any other country on Earth.
