Our Principles

We believe in raising wages, closing the wealth gap, strengthening Social Security, lowering the cost of healthcare and ensuring all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care. It is critically important to stabilize Medicare and Medicaid, enact sensible immigration reform that keeps America's promise, and to defend our borders, ideals, and institutions. We support our veterans and military families and advocate for fixing our criminal justice system and eliminating systemic racism. We act to advance womens' rights, protect access to reproductive healthcare, fight for equal pay, stop violence against women, and work to elect more women to public office. We protect and promote every American's fundamental right to vote, advance clean energy and climate change action, advocate for common-sense gun reforms, encourage investment into smarter infrastructure, and advocate for modern education and jobs programs to prepare our children for tomorrow's challenges.

Lastly, we advocate for liberty and equality for all. We seek to guarantee equal rights for all Americans, including:

  • Women
  • Minorities
  • People with Disabilities
  • The LGBTIQ Community
