Our philosophy

A yellow vest is synonymous with respect and care for our planet Earth and with respect for all its life forms. The yellow vests want to live in harmony with nature and oppose any destructive attitude towards nature.

Non-violence is the fundamental principle of every Yellow Vest, and democratic debate is their weapon for achieving political demands.

Each Yellow Vest speaks only for itself.

Courtesy, empathy and helpfulness towards others are fundamental principles for every Yellow Vest.

The Yellow Vests regard the freedom and integrity of each individual as the greatest privilege and are committed to defending it.

No one may be disadvantaged or favoured on the basis of their gender, sexual orientation, origin, religious or political beliefs. All political beliefs are welcome, provided they do not conflict with the other points of the charter.

Every Yellow Vest fights for and defends every other Yellow Vest.

Visibly wearing a yellow vest indicates to third parties that a Yellow Vest is not involved in or represents the views of any political party, trade union or other political organisation.

We are not only human beings, we are all children of this earth.
