Policy Proposals

Audre Lorde once said “there is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.”

This idea lies at the core of my People First policy agenda. In order to make impactful change, we need to reform and reimagine entire systems, which requires a comprehensive approach.

We will propose thoughtful plans to solve serious problems and put forth policies that connect to form a single vision for the future of this country. Because no problem confronting Americans operates in a vacuum, we will fight for solutions that place these issues in context, and understand how they intersect with each each other.

People First Plan to End Hunger in America

Over 37 million Americans are at risk of going hungry. Food insecurity is not only a symptom of poverty and inequality, but a reflection of our national priority. Ending hunger demands that we marshal the full power of the federal government and the American people.

Equality for People with Disabilities

Throughout this race for the presidency, I have centered my campaign on the most vulnerable people and the most marginalized communities. People with disabilities are strong and resilient, but too often have been excluded from the rest of society and ignored by our politics.

First Chance Plan

We need a new approach to criminal justice, one that prioritizes prevention, not prison, creates a restorative justice system, heals the wounds of incarceration, and ensures every person has an effective first chance.

Children First Plan for Foster Care

Nearly 450,000 children are in foster care in America, separated from their parents for their own well-being and awaiting reunification with their family or placement with new adoptive parents.

Empower Workers with Unions for All

My plan calls for strengthening the rights of unions and workers, increasing union density in American society, and pursuing new ways of bargaining between unions and industries.

Justice for Farmworkers

Too many farmworkers are exposed to the dangers of heat stroke, sexual harassment, pesticide exposure, or deportation. The people who feed America deserve better.

Dignity for Domestic Workers

Listening to domestic workers like my grandmother, understanding their hardships, and valuing them in our society will be a priority as president, and that begins with rewriting our labor laws.

Economic Plan for Working Families

The costs of caring for your family are rising year after year, while your paycheck is staying the same. The wealthy few have set up the rules to work for themselves, while working families who labor for a living are left behind.

Protecting Animals & Wildlife

Animals are an important part of our lives, families, and the planet we share. We have a responsibility to advance the welfare of animals and protect endangered species from extinction.

People & Planet First

Right now, the climate crisis is already devastating our communities, our homes, and our families. We will mobilize America around this mission for a historic investment in the American people and our planet.

Disarming Hate

My plan to disarm hate starts with identifying the threat of white supremacist terrorism and combatting it directly with a coordinated federal response.

Indigenous Communities

Indigenous people have been continually subject to cruelty and neglect at the hands of the federal government. We deserve a president who will strengthen tribal sovereignty, honor treaty commitments, ensure justice for Indigenous women, and advance tribal-federal partnerships for progress.

Policing

We have on our hands a national crisis in public safety. On the day Julián announced his candidacy for President of the United States, he talked about the frightening rate at which unarmed black and brown folks have been killed by law enforcement officers all over America. This is Julián’s plan to fix this broken system.

Immigration

It’s time for an immigration policy that puts people first. This moment demands that of us. And in order to meet the challenge, we must not only expand our political will, but also our moral imagination. We must remember what immigration means to our national identity, and who we want to be as a country.

Education

Education is at the core of the American Dream. It is the foundation by which we fulfill our collective promise to every student that if they work hard, they have a shot at reaching their dreams. However, our government has failed to live up to its end of the bargain.

Housing

Housing is a human right. But for too many Americans, affordable, safe, and healthy housing is out of reach—forcing them to pay 40, 50, or even 60 percent of their income in rent, and forcing others on the streets. We need a president who will match the urgency of this issue with concrete, bold plans.

Lead

Where a child grows up should never dictate where that child ends up. It’s a simple promise. This is why the lead crises we have witnessed in communities like Flint, Michigan have been particularly shocking to our national conscience. This plan aims to eliminate lead poisoning as a major public health threat.
