"An unjust society is an unsustainable" one. People "have a right to food, housing, medical care, jobs that pay a living wage, education, and support in times of hardship."
Taxes must be fair and equitable. Make corporations and rich elites carry their share of the load. Working people need relief, not greater burdens. End the austerity hoax.
Government must serve everyone, not just America's privileged. Invest in people, not prisons. End the death penalty and war on drugs.
Curb corporate power. Support small business and self-employed people. Prioritize job creation with livable wages. Institutionalize banking reform. Return money power to the public where it belongs.
Break up or shut down too-big-to-fail banks. They're too big to exist. Clean up a system based on speculative excess and grand theft. End corporate bailouts and subsidies in all forms. Subsidize people, not corporate predators.
Protect pensions and social security for working people. Replace austerity with vital stimulus. Prioritize doing things right, not wrong.
Greens represent America's progressive alternative. Merriam Webster calls progressivism "believing in moderate political change and especially social improvement by governmental action."
The Oxford Dictionary says it's anyone "advocating or implementing social reform or new, liberal ideas." Wikipedia calls it a "political attitude favoring or advocating changes or reforms through governmental action."
