What we are fighting for is not ‘utopian’ or unachievable. Trumpism can and must be defeated

In the richest country in the history of the world we must establish that:

  • Healthcare is a human right and must be available to all regardless of income.

  • Every worker in America is entitled to earn a decent income. We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage and make it easier for workers to join unions.

  • We must have the best public educational system in the world, from childcare to vocational training, to graduate school – available to all.

  • We must address the housing crisis and build the millions of units of low-income and affordable housing that we desperately need.

  • We must create millions of good paying jobs as we lead the world in combating the existential threat of climate change.

  • We must abolish all forms of bigotry.
