Rights & Freedoms
Federal baselines for the rights every American should have — no matter which state they live in.
A generation of hard-won rights is being rolled back state by state, court by court, and platform by platform. 62.7 million women now live under state-level abortion bans. The US is the only major Western democracy without comprehensive federal LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections. 25 million Americans face active barriers to voting. There is no federal privacy law. US press freedom fell from 32nd to 57th in the world. And the War on Drugs has cost a trillion dollars and 806,000 overdose deaths without meaningfully changing drug use rates.
Federal legislation restoring Roe's framework. Full LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections in the Equality Act. The Freedom to Vote Act plus the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. A comprehensive federal privacy law. A free-press package with a shield law, local journalism rescue, and public-media funding. A drug policy rebuilt on evidence: harm reduction, treatment on demand, and the end of federal prohibition on cannabis.
Your rights don't depend on which state you live in. A free press is funded and protected. Who you love, how you vote, what you say online, and what happens to your body are decisions you make — not decisions made for you.
Reproductive Rights
The US is one of only four countries since 1994 to roll back abortion rights. 62.7 million women now live under state bans.
LGBTQ+ Rights
The US is the only major Western democracy without comprehensive federal LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections.
Voting Rights
Democracy only works when every citizen can participate. Gerrymandering, voter ID laws, and polling place closures are making it harder — deliberately.
Internet, Privacy & Big Tech
The US is the only major democracy without a federal privacy law. A $323 billion data broker industry extracts your life for profit. Your data belongs to you.
Media & Press Freedom
3,500 newspapers closed since 2005. 213 counties have no local news. The US dropped from 32nd to 57th in press freedom. The press is the immune system of democracy.
Disability Rights
70 million Americans have a disability. The employment gap is 43 percentage points. The SSI asset limit — $2,000 — hasn't changed since 1989. Protection on paper is not participation in practice.
Separation of Church & State
We are not against religion. We are against government officials using their office to push their faith on the people they serve. Elected officials work for all citizens — Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, atheist, and everyone else. Your faith is yours. Government's job is to protect it — not promote it.
DC & Puerto Rico Statehood
3.9 million Americans in DC and Puerto Rico pay taxes, serve in the military, and are subject to federal law — but cannot vote for the people who write it. This is colonialism by another name.
