All Village in Progress  policy endorsements and direct actions are compliant with Dr. Kings 4 core tenets of Non-Violent Resistance, 

1. Do we have a just grievance, or is our purpose merely to create confusion for its own sake, as a form of revenge?

2. Have we first used every form of normal means to eliminate the problem by negotiation, petition and appropriate appeals to authority?

3. Having found these channels useless or forcibly-closed to us, when we embark on any type of law-breaking are we prepared to accept the consequences society will inflict and maintain, even under punishment, a sense of brotherhood?

4. Do we have a clear program to relieve injustice which does not inflict injustice upon others, and is that program reasonable and grounded in the ethics and best traditions of our society?

 These are our standards.
