But we also believe that staying informed is key to that power. We encourage our communities to keep an eye on the issues that matter to them and become a resource for their networks.

As for us, we feel strongly about the following policy pillars that protect our freedoms, ensure our safety and encourage responsible citizenship:

Reproductive freedom is essential.

Every woman and child-bearing person should be free to make the best decisions for themselves and their family about whether, how and when to have a child. There is no place for the government in that equation.

The assault on reproductive freedom is a direct assault on fundamental rights. The expansion and safeguarding of abortion, medication abortion, emergency abortion care, contraception, IVF, fertility treatments, privacy and all gender justice issues remains essential..

We deserve to be safe from the threat and devastation of gun violence.

Gun violence touches every city and town in America. More than 120 people in the United States are killed every day with guns. Twice as many are shot and wounded. And countless others are impacted.

Common-sense gun safety policies can reduce gun violence and save lives. 

Ensuring a livable world is a foundational need.

The climate crisis is here, and it’s an existential threat to life as we know it. It’s transforming where and how we live, presenting increasing and dire challenges to human health and quality of life, disrupting the economy and decimating the natural systems that support us.

In 2022, the U.S. experienced 18 separate weather and climate disasters costing at least one billion dollars.

Swift and bold action on renewables, energy efficiency and necessary related infrastructure can combat climate change and address other urgent environmental challenges.
