The party describes itself as democratic, anti-racist and anti-sexist. It aims to, among other things, give all political parties in Eswatini legal status, abolish the current absolute monarchy, establish a democratic system of government and new constitution, ensure freedom of assembly and the press, allow for the safe return of exiles, and safeguard workers' rights to organize and unionize.
The party was active in the 2021-2023 Eswatini protests.
