Our Platform
Restoring Our Democracy, Civil Rights, & Voting Rights
Democrats believe government and elections should represent all Americans, not just the wealthy few, and we will fight to protect every citizen’s right to vote by restoring the Voting Rights Act and pushing back against efforts to disenfranchise marginalized communities. We are committed to ending discrimination, upholding civil rights, and ensuring transparency and accountability to rebuild trust in our democracy.
Achieving Universal Affordable Quality Healthcare
Democrats are proud to be the party of Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act, which has expanded coverage and protected more than 100 million Americans with pre-existing conditions. We will keep fighting until every American has secure, affordable, high-quality health care, because health care is a right for all, not a privilege for the few.
Reforming Our Justice System
Democrats believe the criminal justice system is failing and must be overhauled to ensure safety, fairness, and equal treatment for all communities. We will end police brutality, reduce mass incarceration, and invest in education, health care, housing, and jobs to prevent crime and build a more just society.
Women's Rights & Gender Rights
Democrats will fight to guarantee equal rights for women by enshrining gender equality in the Constitution, ending pay inequality, protecting reproductive freedom, and ensuring paid family and medical leave. We are also committed to passing the Equality Act, protecting LGBTQ+ people from discrimination, and ensuring equality and safety for all in schools, workplaces, housing, and public life.
Creating A 21st Century Immigration System
Democrats will protect and expand asylum and humanitarian protections, reversing policies that block victims of violence, LGBTQ+ people, and others from seeking safety. We are committed to ending discriminatory immigration policies and building a 21st century system that reflects our values, supports economic opportunity, and strengthens global competitiveness.
Combating Climate Crisis
Climate change is a global emergency causing deadly storms, wildfires, floods, and economic devastation, with communities of color, low-income families, Indigenous communities, and future generations suffering the most. Democrats believe we must take urgent action to protect lives, secure clean water, and build a sustainable future for all Americans.
Providing A World-Class Education For All Students
Democrats believe education is a fundamental public good and the government’s responsibility, ensuring every child has access to a world-class education regardless of background or circumstances. We are committed to investing in students and teachers, supporting evidence-based programs, and preparing all Americans for college, careers, and active civic engagement.
Building A Stronger Fairer Economy
Democrats believe Americans deserve an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected. We are committed to supporting working families and rebuilding the middle class so that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
“Democrats can win the battle... But only if we fight for it.”
