Key Issues in 2023

Basic Needs
We all deserve to have what we need to survive and live healthy lives. We’re advocating for policies that ensure a baseline of economic security.
Cash Assistance
We are the experts in our own lives and know how to meet our needs better than anyone else. We’re advocating for unrestricted cash benefits available to all who need it.

Safety & Civil Rights
The money we pay in taxes should go to programs that keep us safe. We support redistributing resources from policing to social programs.

Dental Care
Routine dental care is out of reach for many low-income communities across the state. We support expanding dental therapy, a proven solution for improving access to care.
