Working families are being squeezed by rising costs while corporations record profits. We need policies that put more money back in workers’ pockets.
- Raise the Federal Minimum Wage:
- Ensure full-time workers can support their families with a living wage that keeps pace with the cost of living.
- Roll Back Harmful Tariffs:
- Reverse tariffs that increase costs for consumers and small businesses without providing meaningful economic benefits.
- Lower Energy Costs:
- Address rising electricity bills by ensuring utility costs are distributed fairly and supporting energy efficiency programs.
- Support Small Businesses:
- Expand access to capital, reduce regulatory burdens, and provide technical assistance to help local businesses grow and compete.
- Strengthen Unemployment Insurance:
- Modernize unemployment benefits to provide adequate support for workers between jobs.
- Expand Job Training Programs:
- Invest in workforce development and apprenticeship programs that prepare workers for high-demand careers.
