๐ Living Security: A Bold Agenda for the Middle Class and Working People
In the richest country on Earth, no one should have to choose between rent and groceries, or skip meals to feed their kids. A just society starts by guaranteeing that everyone โ from working families to seniors โ can afford the basics: healthcare, housing, wages, and food. Thatโs not charity. Thatโs dignity.
๐ ๏ธ Key Policies to Support Working People
- Medicare for All: Single-payer healthcare for all Americans.
- Gas Cards for Workers: Direct support for minimum wage workers.
- Support for Unions: Rebuild labor power and protect worker rights.
- Path to Citizenship: Fair, humane immigration reform.
- Affordable Housing: Large-scale investment in secure, affordable housing.
- Credit Card Interest Rate Cap: Capped at 4% above the 90-day Treasury Bill rate.
- Tuition-Free Public Colleges: End student debt for future generations.
- Raise the Minimum Wage: $15/hour as a baseline for dignity.
- Expand Social Security: Strengthen benefits by taxing the wealthy fairly.
- Financial Reforms: Restore Glass-Steagall and rein in Wall Street.
- Climate Action: Reach near-zero carbon emissions by 2035.
๐ Food Security Is a Human Right
- Expand and Strengthen SNAP: More support, fewer restrictions.
- Universal Free School Meals: Feed every child, no stigma.
- End Food Deserts: Invest in local markets and access.
- Sustainable Agriculture: Community-led, climate-smart farming.
- Raise Wages, Reduce Hunger: Living wages = food security.
๐ก๏ธ Protecting Essential Programs
Congress is proposing $880 billion in spending cuts, with defense untouched โ which puts Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security on the chopping block. We say: No.
- Protect Medicaid: No cuts to critical healthcare.
- Preserve Earned Benefits: Social Security & Medicare are off-limits.
- Smart Budgeting: Cut waste, not peopleโs lifelines.
