The presidency must be accountable to law and to Congress, not just to norms and custom. We demand restored congressional war powers, enforceable separation of powers, and mandatory transparency in executive action.
View Full Proposal →The system of institutional limits on power must be rebuilt to withstand authoritarian pressure. Inspector general protections, legislative independence, and contempt of Congress with real consequences are the architecture of a self-governing republic.
View Full Proposal →Elected and appointed officials must be term-limited and meet basic fitness requirements for the offices they hold. Cognitive assessments and mandatory judicial retirement ages are safeguards against entrenched, unaccountable authority.
View Full Proposal →Federal courts must reflect the diversity of the nation and apply the law without ideological capture. Supreme Court reform, binding ethics enforcement, and transparent confirmation standards are prerequisites for public trust in the judiciary.
View Full Proposal →Federal agencies serve the public, not the industries they regulate. Revolving-door restrictions, protection of agency independence from political interference, and transparent rulemaking are the minimum requirements for credible governance.
View Full Proposal →Congress must be able to legislate. Filibuster paralysis, minority rule, and representational imbalance have turned the world’s oldest legislature into a graveyard for the public will — and that must change.
View Full Proposal →Every eligible voter must be able to vote, every vote must count, and every district must be fairly drawn. Automatic voter registration, independent redistricting, and ranked choice voting are the infrastructure of legitimate democratic governance.
View Full Proposal →Public office must not be a path to private enrichment. Congressional stock trading bans, full disclosure of all political spending, and strict post-government employment restrictions must become the law of the land.
View Full Proposal →Monopoly power corrupts markets and democracy alike — and it must be broken up. Aggressive antitrust enforcement, the breakup of media monopolies, and labor market concentration rules are required to restore fair competition and democratic accountability.
View Full Proposal →A functioning democracy requires a free, diverse, and trustworthy press. Local news funding, platform transparency requirements, and algorithmic accountability are essential civic infrastructure — not optional amenities.
View Full Proposal →The law must apply equally — to the powerful and the powerless alike. National use-of-force standards, civilian oversight with real authority, and the end of qualified immunity are the minimum standard for legitimate law enforcement.
View Full Proposal →Immigration policy must be grounded in dignity, due process, and the reality of who built this country. A clear path to citizenship and family unity as a core organizing principle are not radical positions — they are American ones.
View Full Proposal →Civil rights enforcement must match the scale and sophistication of modern discrimination. A strengthened Voting Rights Act, LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections, and robust disability rights enforcement are long overdue obligations.
View Full Proposal →American foreign policy must be anchored in human rights, diplomacy, and accountability — not arms deals and endless war. Human rights conditionality on arms sales and diplomatic primacy over military intervention must define how we engage with the world.
View Full Proposal →Public safety and the Second Amendment are not in conflict. Universal background checks, red flag laws, and restrictions on weapons of war in civilian hands honor both constitutional rights and basic moral responsibility.
View Full Proposal →Technology must serve people — not extract from them. Surveillance capitalism and unaccountable AI are active threats to freedom, and a federal data privacy law with real enforcement teeth is the minimum response we owe the public.
View Full Proposal →Corporations cannot strip consumers of rights through contracts, monopoly, or engineered dependency. Right-to-repair legislation, bans on mandatory arbitration, and protections against data exploitation and dark patterns restore the balance of power where it belongs.
View Full Proposal →Healthcare is a right. No one should go bankrupt, go without care, or die because they couldn’t afford treatment — and universal coverage, drug price negotiation, and mental health parity are the policy tools to make that right real.
View Full Proposal →The tax system must reward work, not inheritance. Extreme concentration of wealth is incompatible with democracy — and a wealth tax on extreme fortunes, capital gains taxed as ordinary income, and the end of the stepped-up basis loophole are the starting points.
View Full Proposal →A livable planet and a food supply that is clean, safe, and fairly produced are non-negotiable. Carbon pricing, a clean energy transition, family farm protections, and real clean water enforcement are our obligations to the present and the future.
View Full Proposal →The electrical grid, internet access, water systems, and transportation must serve everyone — not be monopolized or left to decay. A modernized grid built for clean energy and internet as universal public infrastructure are national imperatives.
View Full Proposal →Every person deserves access to a high-quality education regardless of wealth, zip code, or background. Equitable school funding, student debt relief, affordable higher education, and universal pre-K are investments in human potential long overdue.
View Full Proposal →Workers have the right to organize, bargain collectively, and share in the productivity they create. Strengthened collective bargaining rights, federal minimum wage reform, and the end of worker misclassification and wage theft are overdue corrections.
View Full Proposal →Housing is a human necessity — not a speculative asset. No one should be priced out of stability by speculation or policy failure, and anti-speculation controls, community land trusts, and strong tenant protections are the path forward.
View Full Proposal →Scientific leadership, public research infrastructure, and responsible stewardship of space are national imperatives. A federal R&D floor of 3% GDP, open-access research publishing, and a national crewed space capability with debris accountability define the agenda.
