The systems are broken by design. We're here to build something new, policies that put people over profit, dignity over dollars.
"Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege for those who can afford it."
Every year, 45,000 Americans die because they can't afford healthcare. Millions more ration insulin, skip medications, and avoid the doctor because they can't pay. This is not a healthcare system, it's a death sentence for the working class.
Insurance companies make billions while denying coverage to sick people. Pharmaceutical executives get rich while families go bankrupt buying life-saving medications. Hospital administrators earn seven figures while nurses are overworked and underpaid.
"The question is not whether we can afford Medicare for All. The question is whether we can afford to keep letting people die for profit."
"No human being is illegal. Abolish the agency that terrorizes our communities."
ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was created in 2003 as part of the post-9/11 security apparatus. In the two decades since, it has become a rogue agency that operates with virtually no accountability, tearing families apart, caging children, and conducting raids that terrorize entire communities.
ICE has separated thousands of children from their parents. It has detained people in facilities where they have died from medical neglect. It has deported veterans who served this country. It has created a climate of fear that prevents immigrants from reporting crimes, seeking healthcare, or sending their children to school. This agency cannot be reformed. It must be abolished.
"Immigrants are not the enemy. They are our neighbors, our coworkers, our family members. The real threat is an agency that operates outside the law and destroys lives with impunity."
"The labor movement built this country. It's time to rebuild the labor movement."
For decades, corporations have waged war on workers. They've busted unions, shipped jobs overseas, and replaced good wages with gig economy exploitation. CEO pay has skyrocketed while workers' wages have flatlined. This is not an accident, it's policy.
We believe in the power of organized labor. When workers stand together, they can demand dignity, fair wages, and safe working conditions. Every worker deserves a union, and every union deserves the power to fight back.
"When we fight, we win. The boss needs us more than we need the boss."
"Not another dollar for genocide. Not another bomb for apartheid."
The United States sends $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel every year, our tax dollars funding the bombing of hospitals, schools, and refugee camps. We have watched in horror as tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have been killed, entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble, and a population starved and displaced.
This is not a conflict between two equal sides. This is a nuclear-armed state, backed by the world's largest military power, waging a campaign of annihilation against a captive population. American politicians from both parties have enabled this genocide with our money, our weapons, and their silence. We will not be silent.
Until all three conditions are met, all US funding to Israel, military, economic, and diplomatic support, will be halted:
"There is no peace without justice, no security without equality, no future built on oppression. All people deserve freedom and dignity."
"Rebuild America with good union jobs, not corporate handouts."
America's infrastructure is crumbling. Our bridges are structurally deficient. Our roads are potholed. Our public transit is underfunded. Our electrical grid is outdated. Our water systems are poisoning communities. We've neglected the foundation of our society for decades while funneling money to wars abroad and tax cuts for the rich.
It's time to rebuild, not with privatization schemes that enrich corporations, but with massive public investment that creates millions of good union jobs and serves the common good.
"We can spend $900 billion a year on the military but can't fix our bridges or give our kids clean water? It's not a budget problem, it's a priorities problem."
"Education is a right, not a product. Public schools, not private profits."
For decades, billionaires and corporate interests have waged war on public education. They've pushed charter schools that drain funding from public schools, turned education into a profit center, and saddled students with crushing debt. Meanwhile, public school teachers buy supplies out of their own pockets and children go hungry during the school day.
Education is the foundation of democracy. It should be free, universal, and excellent, from pre-K through community college. We will fully fund public schools, feed every student, and ensure that no one is denied education because of their zip code or their parents' bank account.
"Every dollar spent on charter schools is a dollar stolen from public education. Our children are not customers, and their education should not be for sale."
"No one should sleep on the street while luxury condos sit empty."
Housing is not a commodity, it's a human right. Yet across America, rents skyrocket while wages stagnate. Families are evicted so landlords can raise prices. Investors buy up homes and leave them empty while people sleep in tents.
In Maryland's 3rd District, working families are being pushed out of neighborhoods they've lived in for generations. Teachers, nurses, and service workers can't afford to live in the communities they serve. This is class war, and the landlords are winning.
"A home is not an investment vehicle for Wall Street. It's the foundation of a dignified life."
"No child should go to bed hungry in the richest country on Earth."
America throws away 40% of its food while 34 million people face hunger. Children skip meals so their parents can eat. Seniors choose between food and medication. Working families line up at food banks. This is a policy choice, and we choose differently.
Food is a human right, not a privilege. We have the resources to end hunger tomorrow, what we lack is the political will. We will build that will.
"We produce enough food to feed everyone. Hunger is not a scarcity problem, it's a distribution problem. It's a justice problem."
"Billionaires should not exist while children go hungry."
The richest Americans pay a lower effective tax rate than teachers, nurses, and firefighters. Corporations rake in record profits while paying zero in federal taxes. Wealth is hoarded at the top while infrastructure crumbles and public services are gutted.
This is not about envy, it's about justice. The billionaire class has rigged the system in their favor. They buy politicians, write their own tax laws, and hide trillions in offshore accounts. It's time to make them pay what they owe.
"You didn't build that fortune alone. You used our roads, our schools, our workers. Now pay your share."
"Our communities need clean water and affordable energy, not server farms for Silicon Valley billionaires."
Across America, tech giants are building massive AI datacenters that consume staggering amounts of electricity and water. These facilities strain local power grids, drive up energy costs for residents, and drain aquifers in communities already facing water scarcity. Meanwhile, the profits flow to billionaires in Silicon Valley while local communities bear the environmental burden.
AI datacenters are not innovation, they are extraction. They take our resources, pollute our air, and give nothing back. We will not sacrifice our communities so that tech companies can train chatbots and generate deepfakes.
"We will not let billionaires drain our aquifers to train AI models. Our water, our power, our communities come first."
"The future of humanity depends on cooperation, not confrontation."
For too long, American foreign policy has treated China as an enemy to be contained rather than a partner in solving the world's greatest challenges. This Cold War mentality benefits weapons manufacturers and war hawks, but it does nothing for working people in either country. Climate change, pandemics, and economic instability do not respect borders. We cannot solve these problems alone.
We must forge a new era of cooperation and coordination with China so that all humans can flourish. Competition should drive us to be better, not drag us into conflict. The American and Chinese people have far more in common than the politicians and profiteers who benefit from division would have us believe.
"We refuse to let politicians and defense contractors manufacture a new Cold War. The American and Chinese people deserve peace and cooperation, not conflict and fear."
"It's time to focus on issues at home, not regime change abroad."
The United States spends more on its military than the next ten countries combined. We have over 750 military bases in 80 countries. We've been at war for most of our history, toppling governments, arming dictators, and destabilizing entire regions, all in the name of "national security" that makes us less safe.
The endless wars have cost us trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives. That money could have guaranteed healthcare, housing, and education for every American. Instead, it went to defense contractors and foreign occupations. Enough.
"We don't need a bigger military, we need a foreign policy that doesn't make enemies of the entire world. The path to security is justice, not domination."
