Marty's Beliefs

What Marty Believes:

Every person has value. No one is more valuable than anyone else.
Your body, your decisions.
Love is love.
Be who you want to be as long as you don’t cause harm to others in your self-expression.
Listen to all sides of an issue before making a judgment.
Research, implement, evaluate, modify. Repeat.
Support those who put their lives at risk for the safety of our community.
Be accountable in all aspects of your life.
Helping each other is our human responsibility.
