AN AMERICA THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE AND UPHOLDS OUR VALUES.
+ ANTI-CORRUPTION ACT BANNING LOBBYIST MONEY
Every crisis we face is not truly addressed because money from big business funds political campaigns, corrupting all of our government. With one law we will ban all lobbyist money from campaigns. Then our lawmakers will be free to finally work just for you.
+ TAKE OUR DEMOCRACY BACK
Outlawing gerrymandering, implementing ranked choice voting, big money out of politics by reversing Citizens United, ending the electoral college, closing the revolving door, making Congress vote on only ONE ISSUE AT A TIME, and STOPPING FOREIGN INTERFERENCE by fortifying our voting systems and ensuring social networks know who is posting political content. Something our treasonous president refuses to do.
We will also implement a "CONNECTED DEMOCRACY" voting platform (aka Liquid Democracy) to give the American people a direct say in legislation and executive orders. (Try it here on our site in the nav bar!)
+ SAVING OUR ONE PLANET
Finally taking this dire issue seriously. Because, NEWS FLASH, we can't breathe on Mars. When the consensus of the scientists of the world say that we have just 12 years left to reverse course or DESTROY EARTH, I kinda feel like WE SHOULD LISTEN. On day one we will re-enter the Paris Climate Accord, and on day two begin pushing for a tougher and more enforceable agreement. And we will begin implementing the principles of the Green New Deal. Are Republicans not brave enough to step up to this fight? I thought you guys were supposed to be tough.
+ WORKING TO CLOSE THE INCOME & WEALTH GAP
Fighting for a living wage and affordable housing for all. We will also give middle income and working class people a "Cost of Living Tax Refund" every month. I am the only working person in the race, and the only union member, so you know I will fight for you, because I am one of you.
+ HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY
Every rich nation on earth can do it. It's time we protected our own. But government won't successfully handle all 300 Americans. They couldn't even get the healthcare website up! So we expand Medicare to the millions with no coverage, while fixing Obamacare & reigning in drug prices.
+ FREE COLLEGE, BUT ONLINE TO SAVE US MONEY
Everyone who wants a college degree in America should be able to get one. But pesky reality dictates that we don't have the money to pay for everyone's tuition, room, board, etc. So if you want free college, we will create a fully accredited online university. This would cost us a tiny fraction of the price tag, and achieve the same result. We need out of the box thinking to solve our problems, not the same political talking points that will never actually happen.
+ COMBINE WHITE COLLAR PRISONS & BLUE COLLAR PRISONS
Want to stop corporate crime? Want true prison reform? That one thing will accomplish both. We should not have a class system in our jails. We will end disciminatory cash bail. And of course we will end private prisons. Choose a better business, bro.
+ TREATING ALL HUMANS HUMANELY
We can keep our nation, streets, and children safe AND treat all people with dignity. They are not mutually exclusive. Why would they be? Are we monsters? Common sense gun reform, humanity in our immigration policies, sensitivity training for police. While also respecting our officers, protecting our border, and keeping people's right to bear arms. We can do all of this. We are America.
+ STOP THE ORANGE MONSTER
None of this can happen if we allow 4 more years of this madman destroying our democracy. We did not get the nomination, but we can still win if we make sure Trump is not re-elected. Because that is our ultimate goal.
(See issues page for more detail and many more isssues.)
Beating Trump has to be our number one priority if we want America to return to being a place that upholds our values and we are proud to call home. Consider donating to the Democratic Unity Fund to help ensure we win. And either way, please do all you can to fight!
