Criminal Jus ce Reform sentencing to eliminate racial and ethnic dispari es Reform Enact comprehensive reintegra on strategies to interrupt the costly cycle of recidivism Enact incen ves to promote fair policing and end excessive use of force De-criminalize possession of cannabis
Economic Jus ce Expand Medicaid and resist efforts to use block grants to strip health care from disabled and/or low-income children, elderly and disabled Americans. By capping spending on Medicaid and enabling states to weaken the reach of the program, the block grant plan will jeopardize medical access for millions, including those who gained coverage in states that chose Medicaid expansion. The Administra on’s block grant program puts countless families at risk and also contradicts Congressional intent for Medicaid.

PREAMBLE America is an idea—one that has endured and evolved through war and depression, prevailed over fascism and communism, and radiated hope to far distant corners of the earth. Americans believe that diversity is our greatest strength. That protest is among the highest forms of patrio sm. That our fates and fortunes are bound to rise and fall together. That even when we fall short of our highest ideals, we never stop trying to build a more perfect union.
When the American people go to the polls this fall, we will be choosing more than a candidate. Character is on the ballot in this elec on. The character of our President, yes, but more than that: the character of our democracy, our society, and our leadership in the world.
The challenges before us—the worst public health crisis in a century, the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, the worst period of global upheaval in a genera on, the urgent global crisis posed by climate change, the intolerable racial injus ce that s ll stains the fabric of our na on—will test America’s character like never before.
The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare deep-seated problems in our society—the fragility of our economy and social safety net, the risks posed by growing inequality, the impacts of racial and economic dispari es on health and well-being, and the profound consequences of deepening polariza on and poli cal paralysis.
The bill has come due on the Trump Administra on’s hollowing out of our public ins tu ons: the sidelining of experts, the rejec on of science, the underinvestment in research, and the gross corrup on and abuses of power. President Trump’s derelic on of duty has caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans, the loss of tens of millions of American jobs, and las ng harm to our children’s educa on and future.
And it has revealed, at tragic economic and human cost, the emp ness of the Republican Party’s “America First” foreign policy. Under President Trump, America stands alone. Friends and foes alike neither admire nor fear President Trump’s leadership—they dismiss and ridicule it. The Republican Party under President Trump has made America small—when we are a people called to do the greatest things.
Democrats will fight to repair the soul of this na on. To unite and to heal our country. To turn this crisis into a crucible, from which we will forge a stronger, brighter, and more equitable future.
