We must define hate crimes for what they are, because only after defining the problem can we tackle it.

Paths to citizenship in the U.S. are inefficient, over-complicated, and frequently inhumane. We need to undo the damage caused by the Trump administration’s harmful Public Charge rule and make the naturalization process welcoming, efficient, and accessible.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, & access are essential for the health of our businesses and schools both small and large. When we prioritize DEIA, the environments in which we work, the country in which we live, and the communities that we call home will all be benefitted.

Americans deserve safety, including safety from police violence. It's time for our law enforcement system to work for all of us.

Structural racism is the primary motivating factor behind maternal health disparity in the US. We need to deconstruct the implicit bias and inequities present in our hospitals, from the waiting room, to the delivery room, to the child’s first annual check up a year later.

Voting is a critical part of the political process, and no American should be prevented from exercising their civil right to participate in government.

LGBTQ people are entitled to equal rights, opportunities, and dignity. We fight against discriminatory policies on the local, state, and national levels, and we resist homophobia and transphobia in all of its forms.

Expand who receives benefits from the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). Increase funding for OPWDD for more resources and funding to properly support the lives of people with disabilities.

Seeking asylum is a human right. Asylum laws are meant to protect anyone who is fleeing persecution and cannot return safely to their home country. However, the current asylum laws in the U.S. often put asylum-seekers at greater risk. We have a strong plan for asylum-seekers to access the safety, asylum, and care that they need and deserve.

Workplaces must do more to make employment accessible and accommodate for necessary resources that our community of people with disabilities needs to thrive in their jobs.

Misbehavior in the classroom is not a personal attack or act of defiance, but a symptom of underdeveloped skills. Enabling a safe learning environment and managing behavior fosters meaningful learning of teachers and students alike.

Too often, policy and educational lessons tie menstrual health lessons to fertility, but menstruating people are not reproductive organs. They deserve to live free of shame and stigma, with  access to products that fulfill their needs and information about their bodies throughout their lifespan.

As a multigenerational, multicultural collective, we know Indigenous women have been leading this fight and we stand in solidarity and hope to support their advocacy. Indigenous women deserve justice, safety, and dignity. From creating secure and trauma informed reporting mechanisms to economic and educational opportunities, Indigenous women’s self determination must be at the forefront in the fight for gender equity.

The CDC has deemed sex education to be essential, and yet, fewer than half of the high schools in the country are teaching medically accurate sex education. Students and communities deserve equal access to sex education that is relevant for all gender identities and cultures.

Everyone needs mental health care. People face high costs, lack of information, and social stigma that make our mental health support systems inaccessible. Remove healthcare system barriers and give each person access to online mental health services.

Transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals face violence, discrimination, and barriers to accessing necessary services--such as healthcare--at alarmingly high rates. We envision a world where TGNC individuals have equal rights, are free from violence and discrimination, and have access to quality housing, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. We demand better laws and policies that see beyond a gender binary and recognize the validity of TGNC rights and identities.

People from all walks of life face forms of violence such as harassment or assault every day. We demand justice for these survivors. From large corporations to our schools, from the prison system to our hospitals, all institutions must shift from victim blaming and unsupportive approaches, to healing centered methods to create a healthier and more connected society.

We want students in special education to have a strong and valued voice in their individual learning plans from the start of their education, so they can achieve their goals. Students and parents need to be actively involved in the creation and evaluation of any Individualized Education Plan.

All students require mental health support, especially children who have experienced traumatic experiences. Stop criminalizing children and instead offer restorative practices and mental health support systems in every public school.
