We seek to strengthen the Democratic Party so that it, and we, fight for the most basic progressive principles, such as equal rights for all in all things, single payer universal healthcare, opposing austerity (for the poor and middle class should not have to pay for the mistakes of the rich and powerful), worker’s rights (including the right to unionize and participate in collective bargaining with their employers, whether they be public or private), fair and progressive taxation (including making sure wealthy citizens and corporations start paying their fair share in taxes), open government and the preservation and strengthening of the social safety net (most importantly Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid).
