Seeking asylum is a human right. Asylum laws are meant to protect anyone who is fleeing persecution and cannot return safely to their home country. However, the current asylum laws in the U.S. often put asylum-seekers at greater risk. We have a strong plan for asylum-seekers to access the safety, asylum, and care that they need and deserve.

Workplaces must do more to make employment accessible and accommodate for necessary resources that our community of people with disabilities needs to thrive in their jobs.

Misbehavior in the classroom is not a personal attack or act of defiance, but a symptom of underdeveloped skills. Enabling a safe learning environment and managing behavior fosters meaningful learning of teachers and students alike.

We will target local barriers to unlock the broader benefits of electrified transportation. Easing the switch to EV’s reduces local air pollution from automobiles, and lowers health risks with our residents, such as heart and lung disease.

A clear and effective policy for paid leave protects employee well-being, business liability, and promotes gender equality in the workplace. We believe that all families deserve this right.

As a nation, we overproduce food and then distribute it poorly. Current food distribution chains are inefficient, wasteful, and more likely to feed livestock, cars, and landfills rather than people. Food producers, distributors, and sellers must innovatively reduce waste to fight food insecurity.

Too often, policy and educational lessons tie menstrual health lessons to fertility, but menstruating people are not reproductive organs. They deserve to live free of shame and stigma, with  access to products that fulfill their needs and information about their bodies throughout their lifespan.

Every community deserves access to affordable, culturally relevant food. Our current food system is unsustainable, inefficient, and creates barriers to nutrition for marginalized communities. 

As a multigenerational, multicultural collective, we know Indigenous women have been leading this fight and we stand in solidarity and hope to support their advocacy. Indigenous women deserve justice, safety, and dignity. From creating secure and trauma informed reporting mechanisms to economic and educational opportunities, Indigenous women’s self determination must be at the forefront in the fight for gender equity.

The CDC has deemed sex education to be essential, and yet, fewer than half of the high schools in the country are teaching medically accurate sex education. Students and communities deserve equal access to sex education that is relevant for all gender identities and cultures.

Everyone needs mental health care. People face high costs, lack of information, and social stigma that make our mental health support systems inaccessible. Remove healthcare system barriers and give each person access to online mental health services.

Reduce the disproportional impact caused by climate change.Build a safety net assistance for those displaced by the energy transition by addressing racial, economic, and social inequities in health outcomes. Our impact is not limited to our country, so we must understand how our consumption affects other countries globally in addition to our cities domestically.

Transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals face violence, discrimination, and barriers to accessing necessary services--such as healthcare--at alarmingly high rates. We envision a world where TGNC individuals have equal rights, are free from violence and discrimination, and have access to quality housing, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. We demand better laws and policies that see beyond a gender binary and recognize the validity of TGNC rights and identities.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) needs to have the independence to thoroughly, ethically, and unbiasedly evaluate foods, medications, cosmetics, and products that are in the best interest of the American people, not corporations.

People from all walks of life face forms of violence such as harassment or assault every day. We demand justice for these survivors. From large corporations to our schools, from the prison system to our hospitals, all institutions must shift from victim blaming and unsupportive approaches, to healing centered methods to create a healthier and more connected society.

Accelerate pathways to net zero emissions by converting harmful processes, like burning natural gas, into sustainable energy systems.

Our teachers are strong voices in our society, and school systems must do more to trust and empower them. Give our educators more autonomy and improve their targeted development to reduce teacher turnover.

Stronger action, not just language. Large brands have kept us in the dark about how our day to day products are made. Do we know if brands are exploiting children or if factory workers are protected? To combat alarmingly weak transparency, large brands earning over $100 million annually must be required to publicly disclose whether and how they follow internationally-recognized ethical labor standards.
