CREATE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY Expand quality jobs that support families by investing in training for skilled trades and technology jobs, promote innovation, and provide direct relief to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Make healthcare more affordable, accessible, and equitable by making Medicare available to all, bringing costs down, and stopping price gouging by pharmaceutical companies.
Reduce prices for goods by repairing our supply chain so we produce critical supplies and medicines here at home, and crack down on corporations that are taking advantage of the pandemic and inflating prices for their own profit.
Take bold, immediate action to tackle climate change, push for initiatives that increase the use of renewable energy, and prioritize access to clean air, water, land and parks for everyone.
Ensure every child has access to a strong, world-class education, regardless of their zip code, expand financial assistance to give every student the option for higher education, and support teachers and local school districts.
Recognize systemic injustices that affect people of color, protect a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, and protect rights for LGBTQ+ Americans.
Stand up to Republican attempts to weaken the Social Security benefits seniors have earned and deserve, strengthen Medicare benefits, reduce prescription drug costs, and stop fraudulent and predatory telemarketing calls.
Support criminal justice reforms while keeping neighborhoods safe and protected, and restore the relationship of trust between our communities and local law enforcement agencies.
Promote transparency and fairness in government, be accessible to all constituents with townhalls and forums, and hold elected officials accountable if they commit wrongdoing.
Make neighborhoods safer and prevent mass shootings by passing universal background checks, getting guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals, and treating gun violence as a public health crisis.[4] |
