Racial Justice

America must grapple with the fact that our country was built on white supremacy. If we are going to dismantle systemic racism, we can’t just rely on universal social programs. We must desegregate our schools and neighborhoods, end our environmental racism, and pass redistributive policies that give wealth, resources, and autonomy to people of color.

 

Our Vision & Core Policies

Fully Desegregate our Communities

  • Increase federal funding for efforts to desegregate schools

  • Ensure equitable and culturally competent education

  • Stop the practice of redlining once and for all

Close the Racial Wealth Gap

  • Reparations for slavery

  • Reparations for the genocide of Indigenous peoples

End Environmental Racism

  • End environmental racism and hold corporations accountable for polluting communities of color

  • Prioritize majority-Black and Brown neighborhoods who bear the brunt of corporate pollution in our environmental clean-up efforts

Address Racist Health Disparities

  • Close the Black maternal health outcome disparity 

  • Address health infrastructure gaps that disproportionately hurt POC by switching to a global funding model based on need

Invest in People of Color

  • Increase representation of people of color in education, government, and leadership positions

  • Fund federal agencies so that they can enforce anti-discrimination laws in housing, education, finance, employment, and health institutions.
