Increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour and index it to median wage growth thereafter — 40 million Americans get a raise, and $100 billion is pumped directly into our economy.
Medicare-for-all — The Senate has a four-year phase-in period plan to help guarantee health care for every man, woman and child.
Bold actions to combat climate change — Shift our energy system away from fossil fuels and toward energy efficiency and renewable energy. We can lead the planet in combating climate change and, in the process, create millions of good paying jobs.
Fix our broken criminal-justice system — End the absurdity of the United States having more people in jail than any other country on Earth. Invest in jobs and education for our young people, not more jails and incarceration.
Comprehensive immigration reform — More than 11 million workers in America are undocumented. Let’s sign them up, and their employers too.
