Economic Justice
For decades, brutal trickle-down economic policies from the federal government have crushed working-class families across America, leading to stagnant wage growth and massive debt, all while the rich and big corporations have gotten richer and bigger. That’s why I support flipping our economic policy to trickle up by investing in working class families.
I support:
-
A fair and progressive tax system that ensures that millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share while ending corporate tax loopholes
-
The PRO Act which ensures every worker has the ability to join a union
-
A federal jobs guarantee
-
Reinstating the Child Tax Credit, which had briefly reduced childhood poverty by 30%
-
Fully funding social services such as food stamps and
-
A federal $15 minimum wage that is indexed to inflation
-
A Renters Bill of Rights to protect renters from predatory landlord practices
-
Increased federal investment in affordable housing and standing up to the big banks and the special interests who have made homeownership unattainable for too many
-
Recognizing housing as a human right and protecting unhoused people from criminalization
