Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports substantially more progressive taxation and new taxes on financial speculation and wealth to fund large-scale public programs (Green New Deal, jobs guarantee, single-payer healthcare, debt forgiveness) while lowering taxes for low- and middle-income households. Proposals include a financial transactions tax, higher estate taxes, applying payroll/Social Security taxes to capital gains and dividends, carbon/pricing mechanisms, and vacancy/speculation taxes. These revenue measures are paired with major public spending and redistribution programs.
Healthcare
Supports a single-payer "Medicare for All" system and universal health care as a right, advocating elimination of private-insurance bureaucracy and expansion of publicly funded comprehensive coverage.

Immigration & Border
Supports expanded legal pathways and a dignified path to citizenship for immigrants, protections for asylum seekers and refugees, an end to mass deportations and detention of law‑abiding undocumented immigrants, and demilitarization of border enforcement while addressing root causes of migration (e.g., ending wars, climate action).
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports codifying Roe v. Wade and advancing reproductive rights, describing access to abortion and reproductive care as part of reproductive rights and healthcare. Advocates for nationwide protections to ensure safe, legal access to abortion and family-planning services.
Climate & Energy
Supports a Green New Deal–style emergency mobilization to address the climate crisis, including transitioning to 100% renewable/clean energy and banning new fossil-fuel infrastructure; endorses rapid phase-out of fossil fuels and major public investment in renewable energy and a just transition for workers.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports stricter gun regulations including universal/expanded background checks, closing the gun-show/online loopholes, banning or removing military-style/assault weapons from civilian circulation, and stricter safe-storage requirements for firearm owners.
