[[Category:Guitarists|Schenker, Michael]]mmitted to the following '''Four Pillars''':
* [[Non-violence|Non-Violence]]
* [[Grassroots democracy|Grassroots Democracy]]
* [[Ecology]]
* [[social justice|Social Justice]]

These were originally defined by European Green Parties (from the foundation of the [[German Green Party]]) and later adopted by the [[U.S. Green Party]].  The U.S. Green Party, and that of Canada, have expanded these into [[Ten Key Values of the Green Party]].

The four pillars are generally considered interdependent, reinforcing each other in non-obvious ways. They arose from shared concerns of the [[peace movement]] and [[ecology movement]].
