Policies

A good solution solves several problems at once, because everything is connected.

Change one thing in our city and many other things will be affected. This is the holistic way that we view all policy and how we will get to a sustainable, equitable, and resilient future.

We stand for dismantling systemic racism and environmental injustice, which will also progress voting rights, access to quality education, quality health care, employment and housing opportunities because everything is connected.
