Justice and Equity

What We Stand For: Justice and Equity

1. Racial and Social Justice
   We work to dismantle systemic oppression, ensuring that communities of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other marginalized groups have access to the resources, representation, and opportunities they deserve.

2. Economic Equity
   We support fair wages, worker protections, and progressive policies that address the root causes of economic inequality. Everyone should have the opportunity to thrive without choosing between essential needs.

3. Anti-Discrimination
   From banning caste-based discrimination to ensuring inclusive workplaces and schools, we support policies that actively combat bias, hate, and systemic discrimination in all its forms.

4. Justice Reform
   We advocate for equitable and transparent public safety systems, police accountability, and community-driven solutions to reduce harm and promote safety for all.

5. Community Empowerment
   We are committed to empowering underserved communities by reducing language, economic, and cultural barriers to engagement and ensuring that every voice is heard in policy decisions.

6. Global Solidarity
   We believe in prioritizing peace, reducing international harm, and opposing actions that perpetuate violence, displacement, or inequity abroad.

Our Record of Advocacy

Members of our slate have been at the forefront of advocating for justice and equity:

• Police Reform and Accountability: Leading initiatives for community oversight and transparent practices.

• Economic Justice: Fighting for living wages, affordable housing, and equitable access to healthcare.

• Advancing Civil Rights: Supporting measures like SB 403 to ban caste discrimination and opposing international policies that violate human rights.

• Grassroots Organizing: Empowering historically disinvested communities to influence policy and drive systemic change.

Why It Matters

Justice and equity are not abstract ideals—they are lived realities that affect the health, safety, and dignity of every person. We believe the Democratic Party must lead the way by holding itself accountable and centering policies that create opportunity and fairness for all, particularly those who have been left behind by systemic injustice.

Together, we can create a future where every Californian can thrive and every community has the tools and resources to succeed.
