Safety & Our Future

The policies that decide whether our children inherit a safer country and a livable planet.

The Problem

A climate crisis accelerating faster than the policy response. Gun violence that peer democracies solved a generation ago. A defense budget larger than the next nine countries combined, with a Pentagon that cannot account for $4.65 trillion in assets. A nuclear arsenal governed by Cold War assumptions on a Doomsday Clock sitting 85 seconds to midnight — the closest it has ever been in 79 years.

The CGP Approach

Treat the clean-energy transition as the largest job-creation opportunity in American history. Protect and accelerate the Inflation Reduction Act. 100% clean electricity by 2035. Gun laws that respect the Second Amendment and stop preventable deaths: universal background checks, licensing, red-flag laws, and safe storage. A defense budget with real audits and strategic focus. A nuclear posture that removes sole first-use authority from any one person and ratchets toward bilateral reduction.

The Outcome

An energy transition that lowers utility bills and creates jobs in every state. Children who can go to school without lockdown drills. A military that's smaller, smarter, and more accountable. A world where the Doomsday Clock moves backward for the first time in a generation.
