Our Economic Agenda

In America, we have so many dedicated and hardworking individuals who want to put in a hard day’s work and all they ask is an honest day’s pay. One of the best ways to tackle crime, advance education for our youth, and have a bright financial future is to focus on fair jobs for all those who seek them.

Let’s Dare to Act for:

  • Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour (and indexing it to inflation)

  • Earned sick leave for all workers

  • Paid parental leave for births and/or adoptions

  • A well-designed job guarantee program (i.e. a job for anyone that seeks employment)

  • Expanding employee ownership centers and worker-owned cooperatives

  • Strengthening labor and union rights

  • Investing in infrastructure such as transportation systems, high-speed internet, flooding abatement, and water well systems.

  • Providing student loan forgiveness programs

  • Institute policy protections for those who live in mobile homes

  • Push for affordable rental housing
