What steps should be taken to address the high cost of living and depressed wages in America, including for families, people with disabilities, and people that are economically disadvantaged?

My Economic Bill of Rights Plan includes 10 transformational changes.

Right to a living wage: On day 1, I will issue an executive order that provides a living wage to all public and private sector employees paid with federal contracts will receive a living wage.

The right to a voice in the workplace through a union and collective bargaining.
The right to universal quality healthcare.
The right to a cost-free higher education.
The right to good, affordable housing.
The right to a clean environment and a healthy planet.
The right to a meaningful endowment of resources at birth.
The right to sound banking and financial services.
The right to an equitable and fair justice system.
The right to cultural and civic involvement in democratic life.

What steps will you take to ensure all Americans have access to quality and affordable health care, including reproductive care and prescription drug coverage?  

I favor a Medicare for All-style universal healthcare system, like those enjoyed by citizens of every other advanced democracy. My administration will also shift the focus away from a “sick-care system” to a healthcare system that actively invests in the building blocks of a healthy life by addressing root causes of our problems. I will also establish a Department of Children and Youth, taking our children from a national afterthought to a central position in the re-imagination of our nation.

I will also center the rights of women. We will restore the right to abortion, provide reproductive care, close the gender gap in Social Security benefits, enact paid family and medical leave through the FAMILY ACT, and much more.

What will you do to support an economy and job market that are strong and inclusive of all people? 

My administration will make massive investments in our country on the scale of our mobilization during WWII. We will do it by creating millions of well-paid, unionized jobs building the housing, infrastructure, clean energy, education, childcare, and healthcare systems we need to create a fundamental U-turn. Supporting unions, instead of shutting them down the way Joe Biden did, gives the People a seat at the bargaining table. This empowers workers to improve conditions for all. But life happens. We will also ensure there is a robust social safety net there to catch people when they stumble, with extra emphasis on supporting the most vulnerable.

What are the most important steps you will take to create an accessible path to citizenship, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients?

I firmly reject border walls, family separation, and dehumanizing rhetoric. I embrace immigrants and their pursuit of the American Dream, including Dreamers, as embodiments of our highest aspirations as a nation. I support comprehensive immigration reform and will provide a timely, ethical, transparent, and straightforward path to citizenship. I will protect the DACA program, expand protections for DACA recipients, ensure they have access to ACA/Medicaid coverage, update the registration date of the 1929 Registry Act to 1/1/2022, and restore Section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which expired in April 2001, allowing people who have approved petitions to apply for their Green Card upon payment of a fine for the filing fee.

What measures do you support to expand voter access and restore trust in our elections?

I have a number of proposals, from getting money out of politics, to restoring the right to vote to the 5 million plus Americans with a felony conviction, abolishing the Electoral college, creating an automatic voter registration system, establishing Election Day as a national holiday, returning power to the Legislative branch, increasing the number of Supreme Court justices to 15 (with 10 or 20 year terms, instituting ranked choice or STAR voting, and much more.
