Different starting point
Party-first politics begins with alignment. Vicinism begins with neighbors, local facts, and accountable work.
HONEST COMPARISON
A neighbor-first alternative to party-first politics
Vicinism is not affiliated with Democratic Socialists of America, Communist Party USA, Green Party, PSL, Socialist Alternative, Socialist Party USA, Working Families Party, or any party.
Not centrist branding
The movement is not a midpoint between parties. It is a different civic architecture.
Shared concerns, different machinery
People may arrive from many traditions. The test is whether the work protects dignity, evidence, and local self-government.
