| Collapse all
- We must acknowledge equal public education for all as a bedrock principle of American society. This means investing all necessary resources to reduce classroom size; prioritizing support for inner city and low performing schools; paying teachers in line with similarly educated professionals; and providing pre-K education for children of all families who want it. Regarding foreign policy, we must end reckless overseas wars, while pursuing peaceful and diplomatic avenues for promoting human rights worldwide. I support a significant reduction in military spending, while increasing support for those who are serving and all veterans. We have no need to maintain a military presences in scores of foreign nations.
- Criminal justice reform must work to protect us all, while prioritizing the rights of victims and rehabilitation for offenders. I also support reducing the burden on the system by legalizing recreational cannabis. We must protect and expand Social Security. Healthcare is a right. I support Medicare - with dental and optical care included - for all. I will always support a woman's right to choose and have access to all reproductive services. All refugees - including those fleeing the climate crisis - deserve a fair process for having their asylum claims heard. I also support the great American tradition of welcoming an agreed upon number of immigrants each year.
- I support a guaranteed annual income for adults who are at or below the federal poverty level. I support increased inheritance taxes for wealth transferred at $50 million or more; a Wall Street transaction tax; and Senator Warren's wealth tax proposal for billionaires. I support closing tax loopholes and expanding the IRS with the stated mandate to recover avoided taxes of the upper income elites.
I support the concept of a World War II-scale national government mobilization to build a new energy system based on wind, water & solar energy to get the U.S. off of fossil fuels. Regenerative Agriculture is the answer to our looming food crisis. It emphasizes a speedy transition from our current mega-scale, chemically-dependent food producing methods to healthier, organic, and ecologically-minded farming practices.
