We believe
All people should be treated equally, no matter their age, race, religion, national origin, gender identity or sexual orientation.
The economy should be equitable, with broadly shared economic growth.
Aggressive action is necessary to prevent and mitigate the effects of climate change and protect our environment.
Protection of civil rights—including comprehensive criminal justice reform—is essential to the promotion of safe and strong communities.
Support must be given to working families, including a living wage, paid family leave, and affordable, high-quality housing and childcare.
Free, high-quality public education—from preschool through college—should be accessible to every person.
High-quality, affordable health care is a basic human right.
America is a nation of immigrants, and fair and sensible immigration policies must be implemented.
Government should be transparent, ethical, and open to all.
Investment in public and private infrastructure is necessary for a dynamic and equitable economy.
A just and efficient tax system requires the wealthy to pay their fair share.
Veterans—and all who have put themselves in harm’s way on our behalf—should be supported and cared for by our nation.
Strong diplomacy and a strong national defense can co-exist to protect our citizens at home and abroad.
We support nonviolent conflict resolution as a first resort in our domestic and foreign relations.
