We must address more than just wealth disparity – we must address racial disparities of wealth and income. Racism can only be addressed when it is recognized, and it must be recognized that it is rooted in the very foundation of our current justice system as well as our entire society as a whole. This is why we must overhaul our current racist and xenophobic system rooted in white supremacy, and reimagine a new system that is fair and just for everyone – not just the white and the wealthy.
We are fighting for racial justice that:
Ends the war on drugs, legalizing marijuana and expunging all records with associated charges
Eliminates cash bail and bans for-profit prisons
Abolishes ICE
Ensures an easier and fair path to citizenship
Enacts stricter anti-racist laws
Ends racial disparity in our healthcare system
Ends the racial wealth divide
Ends all mandatory minimum sentences
Adequately addresses environmental racism with a Green New Deal, including reparations for communities of color who have been impacted
End the practice of property taxes used as the determined funding for public schools and enact equal and adequate funding for schools
End discriminatory practice in financial services
End voter suppression and gerrymandering, abolishing all voter ID laws and instate automatic voter registration, and make Election Day a national holiday
Ensure that all residents have the right to vote – including all currently and formerly incarcerated people
Reparations for Black, Indigenous, and other disenfranchised communities
Demilitarizes the police, while reimagining our community security systems & who runs them
Eliminates qualified immunity and the police’s ability to self-investigate

Abolishes the death penalty
